I20 is 4doors now?
Yeah, this is the new one disguised.
Is it just me or is that some massive rear travel?
I don't think there is more travel, just seem the wheel arch is quite high
No. Just for the test because 3door is not allowed in public yet.Quote:

Something curious in this Monza video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?list=PL...&v=zS1v17Oi_94).
At 0.12 and 2.20 minutes of the video, you can see the new spec Fiesta WRC used since Finland, however the engine sounds completely different from a normal Fiesta WRC. Can this be the new in-house built engine from M-Sport?! Or is it different exhaust?
RX-version, isnīt it?Quote:

The number of lights on the picture doesn't fit regulations.
Random question, how many tests has the Toyota Yaris WRC done since breaking cover? Seems to be a fair few pictures slowly being released, but generally of the same place.
They done some testing, but from what I know they don't know their exact plans yet, so don't know if will ever use that car in rally. They also consider R5 program with young drivers, but nothing is sure at the moment. Most of those projects are made by TMG, without big support from Japan I think.
from Neuvilles tests.Watch the roof scoop.Wtf?

Maybe hit a branch or just the famous hyundai reliabilty.
Looks for me like he would be going surfing afterwards.
Hänninen had a similar issue in Finland.

Another video of Neuville tests for Monte Carlo made by Zagatoi: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3TUy...ature=youtu.be

So what do you mean by changing engine? It is something different isnīt it? Maybe the M-Sport own developed one?
Kubica was concerned Rossi has some kind of boosted engineQuote:

I don't know, I was just speculating as it was previously discussed that the engine sounded different to normal.Quote:

Some time ago when I was at MSport they had there new body fiesta WRC with tuned up engine - turbo from Focus WRC I think, bigger restrictor, etc, etc. It was sounding nice!!!Quote:

This one? Ford Fiesta RS34
