I see the usual suspects 'misinterpreting' what I say.
I never said the I didnt like the '17-spec cars. They look great in pictures and are very fast. But on the stages are they a quantum leap like Group B was from Group 4 ?
It all depends what you class as exciting - sheer speed yes, but even the prior 2016 cars were damn fast. These new cars never look on the limit except in the hands of the very top boys, and even then just now and then.
How do you guys define 'more spectacular' ? When they flash past at 200 kph in the forest what extra do you see in a '17 car ? I just see a blur and noise which the '16 cars were doing pretty well.
