If he is in Lapland, there is snow already, so could be for Sweden or Monte.Quote:

Now after saying that, based on those pictures and the billions of pictures/videos already out there, should it really be such a shock to the drivers when they do indeed get punctures/etc while cutting some of these rutted corners and sharp kurbs/stones at varying degrees?!?! The majority of the time it works out, but sometimes it doesn't, just don't act so surprised when the inevitable happens
Agreed. They seem to believe that because they have recce'd the stages they know where and how far they can cut. But unless they get out at every corner and see what's in the grass they are taking a risk. Plus there is the factor of the car's running ahead of them dragging a stone or revealing one on the corner.Quote:

Looks like the new aero is not really improving the tendency of the car to nose up on the jumps. Just pure observation, obviously we don't know what they are working on and which setup they are testing. Nice autumn colour in the Finnish forests.Quote:

Anyway it totally looks like a quick veryfication test before homologation, especially with the timing.
We'll know for sure shortly.
