No reason to doubt M-Sport more than any of the other teams. Its only VW that had an advantage in this respect in the last 4 years and they are no more.Quote:

The Hyundai doesn't move around much, therefore doesn't look all that quick; however, it probably means the complete opposite.
Speed is all about perception in these videos. In a direct comparison with a 2016 car, the 2017 car appears slower to me because they are more stable. They are louder than the 2016 cars which help to give a sense of speed, but I'm still convinced that they are less exciting to watch.

It's hard to judge a car speed in isolation. You need to see several cars over the same piece of road for a good comparison. All of the 2017 look quicker than 2016 to me, but which is quickest we'll have to wait and see..
At first I thought new WRC17 cars will be too much stable and boring in comparision with Gr. B cars, but watching these videos here I am somehow very satisfied and let´s say charmed. The cars are pure hi-tec and I just like it. The way it accelerates from slow corner or goes thru fast turn...my mind is blowing up. ;)
Yep, loosing fun for being afraid to look childish is a sad way of getting older…my random bet on ’17 cars: 1. C3; 2. Fiesta; 3. i20; 4. Yaris.Quote:
