Sounds great.
Using Öhlins dampers

Öhlins actually announced on August 3rd

I was there, and the car sounded great!!!! What a sound! And it goes really well.. In the end, Markko was in co-driver's seat and someone else was driving. I don't know who it was, but his helmet had some pink things on it, and he was co-driving for Markko as well.
Best so far, 5 min video of the test:

not antilag yet,and seems with not so much suspension travel.Sounds amazing though!
must say it looks more powerful than I thought it would be, and the sound, oh man I hope it stays like that. I also think the suspension might be too hard for the testing grounds but, this is the first tests and it looks great, well done for prodive and mini/bmwQuote:

The sound, its fantastic!
In a way it combines the sounds of a current WRC car with that of a Group B Peugeot and a tinge of a wet fart. I love it!
The car does sound as though its struggling for air intake though. Mind you, it looks as though the testing roads are quite high in elevation.
I assume the sound is a result of using a lower capacity engine with the same inlet restrictor allowing the power band to be that little bit higher in the rev range than the current WRCars?
To be honest, the car itself doesnt even look that bad. Certainly better than I thought a wagon-ised mini with WRC kit would.
Lets hope it goes like it sounds!!!
Yeah, and it doesn't even have the Wrc kit on so i think it will look very good when the kit is finally designed!Quote:

http://www.fotosralis.online.pt/minitesbftarde10/ sure, he's on the last picture here. And the last part of the photos it's definately his helmet behind the wheel.
Seeing the pictures now, I can almost definitely :p say that the other guy behind the wheel is Ott Tänak. Markko has co-driven Ott on few rallysprints as well - as far as i can see, it's all part of Ott's education programme.
OK. I wasn't there, but a friend of mine told that it seems Tanak indeed, but other put some questions because de colour of the helmet. Yesterday i couldn't see the photos because a stupid mistake in my pc, but today already saw it.Quote:

Good pics, but as true rallyfan it shouldn´t be music. The engine music is what we like to hear... ;)Quote:

It's always exciting to see a new car start testing. Its appearance is not my favorite but it does sounds really good.
and next week He will drive Fiesta S2000 in Finish Championship in HyvinkääQuote:

The car did less km's than on tuesday.. It looked like they had overheating problems. Meeke didn't seem to push as hard as Markko as well.. Marcus seemed to enjoy riding with Meeke even though it was just for a while.Quote:

Don't have videos, but I'm sure they'll come up. There were a dozen of people there and some of them were filming...
AH! And the WRC TV crew was also there.. So stay tuned for something in the website or on TV
not sure if these have been posted already (can't be bothered looking im afraid).

With bang...

Lots of bangs!!! :cool: Today the test was next to the firing facility of the national police and I was in doubt if it was the car's noise or from the weapons :DQuote:
