The Ford Fiesta WRC will debut 'totally new' aerodynamics at the Rally Finland
https://translate.google.ee/translat...xt=&authuser=0
"The Ford Fiesta WRC will have a completely new aero for its rear, which in turn will be accompanied by other new elements that they have preferred to be silent about at least for now.
Ogier: I am positive for the future, because in this second part of the season we will have some evolutions in the Fiesta that make us trust. In Finland we will see a totally new rear aerodynamic in our car and probably there will be something new that I can not yet anticipate..."
:)
Sounds really interesting. We'll keep an eye on that, from WRCWINGS!
Bringing back the Focus rear bumper boost tank? :spin:
Him claiming to be finally happy with the car and its development is a good indicator for M-Sport (and Ford Performance supposedly).Quote:

M-Sport should bring on Meeke for all the rounds they haven't scheduled a third driver yet. If he does well and Evans doesn't improve, swap them for the second car.
M-Sport has pretty much all the rallies covered with Suninen in the thirdexcept Australia and ADAC. Meeke has done well in ADAC a few times though...
And M-Sport (Wilson) is not interested in Meeke, never was and probably never will. Let's face it. It's over for him. Even Toyota will not bother to sign him over these three brilliant drivers and Hyundai (well they have great lineup also).
Except for Wales I'm pretty sure Meeke could do better than Evans in every remaining round.
Yes, he could do better ore he could crash, it's certainly one of these two options.
I don't think he will drive more in the WRC.
Evans just crashes at a slower pace.
Outcome result-wise the same, but car still usable/not so broken.
There is still a chance that Meeke could bring a car home in one piece that doesn't have the driving physics of a bouncy castle.
He crashed the DS3 and every other car he ever had just a bit less often as the C3, so...Quote:

from the best looking ass to most hideous looking ass IMO, maybe it will look better with the livery.
Oh, new bits!
New exhaust.new rear bumper and new diffuser.Lets go,Ford!
Yesterday Ogier's car had the 'old' rear on it.
I guess they're still undecided which to use, and running back-to-back tests...
Ford Yaris
Either that or they take the opportunity to gather data and compare as well as letting the drivers get a feeling for both. When they introduce changes there are often pros and cons, this way the driver can tell more accurately what he does not like about the change in feeling and they can counteract it with some tweaking.Quote:

Compare to new rear aero...

They talk a lot about the new rear wing but its hard to see the difference. The wider vented rear arches & bumper look much clearer.
To me this is just more like the crazy group b aeros.
Keep it coming!
Much credit to that 'Finnish village team' that got their aero right straight out of the box.
Absolutely! The more tasteless the better.Quote:
