Kinda remind me of DMACK and Elfyn with Fiesta back in the day.

Thierry Neuville set the pace on Rally Sweden’s Umeå City shakedown stage ahead of Hyundai team-mate Adrien Fourmaux.
Elfyn Evans was the quickest of the Toyotas, which all did no more than three runs as opposed to the Hyundai drivers who took five.
Unusually, the Rally1 cars entered shakedown after the Rally2 and Rally3 runners, meaning crews were immediately faced with second-pass conditions and unsuitable lines.
That caught out a few, with Lappi the highest-profile casualty as he struggled for grip under braking and nudged into the snow.
“I hope it will not be going like that all the time!” Lappi remarked. “There is no grip on the braking at all with loose snow, but it doesn’t matter. We go again.”

Windscreens fogging up on the M-Sports and Armstrong hit a snowbank into a tight corner.
For a hobbyist Bertelli compares well to the M sport guys.
Korhonen stalled at start
Jon Armstrong:
'A trip to the bank on SS1 and we deposited a bit of time and horsepower due to snow in the air filter.
No damage done, so it’s all go tomorrow !'
