C3 Testing in Wales now
Looking at the speed of these new cars, specially M-Sport's since they seem to be only ones currently running aero packs close to the ones that they are going to use next year.
Makes me wonder if this is really the right way to take WRC.
Fans including me wanted a cars to be louder, have a more power (which they did) and more spectacular driving wise but I think they took a massive U-turn when they wanted to add DTM aero kits onto them, now the cars look like that they are getting ready for Pikes Peak or something.
Also makes me wonder that is it even possible to drive stages like Ouninpohja etc where the average speeds were almost too fast already this year.
I'm just hoping that this doesn't end the way it did in 1986 or even worse, car crashing into spectators.

WRC needs a revamp and having cars with a ‘wow factor’ is the easiest way to get it. ’17 cars are much safer than Gr.B’s, still the FIA and all rally organizers shouldn’t take the speed increase lightly.Quote:

Only thing I fear is faster cars are easier to crash. No matter how safe they are made. I just hope we don't see any extra cars wrapped around trees etc.
Saying that though I cant wait for 2017. These new cars have done it for me. Not only that, they appear to be a lot more side ways in the videos that are posted. Think we may have speed, and spectacular action next year.

With less aero the cars would be likely both more spectacular and safer.Quote:
