M-Sport/ Ford have been testing using a 'simulator' in the USA. They say its helped improve the Puma Rally1 car, especially for tarmac. Does anyone know what this simulator could be like ?

The Teams were never complaining about the Regulations (Rally1 cars, or too few of them), they only wanted better promotion of the WRC and the set-up of the events.

Ogier wasnt just moaning, he was backing up what most of the other drivers said when asked about the new points system.

George Donaldson on the Dirtfish podcast said Fourmaux was unlucky as the Puma reacted to a compression which turned the car in too much and clipped the anti-cut. Ogier's car did the same in another...

Anyone watched the BRC highlights show programme last night ?

Sadly there wasnt much improvement other than a slightly less complex showing of the various Championships & car classes.

The Manufacturers have all the power, without them the WRC is dead. They clearly wont or cant accept the proposed changes either financially or in the timeframe.

TBH I dont get why some places have anti-cut devices when other identical kind of places allow huge cutting and the throwing of dirt all over the road.

I hope you're right.

(The demos were also about excessive tourist numbers and the effect on the natural environment. Such people can also see a rally in the the same way).

No Lappi is really strange unless Hyundai enter 4 Rally1 cars.

If it's enough reduction to enable some extra Rally1 cars with WRC Promotor help it's only a good thing if only for the next 18 months.

Maybe it's to do with not upsetting the balance of the car ?

I think you're right. And it ended with a fair result (points wise equal with Neuville) as Evans was really lucky not to do big damage or even retire with his off.

I hope these demonstrations wont affect the rally.

Why couldn't Evans get the PS win, was the car damaged or his tyres totally gone ?

Fourmaux replay. Quite a strange one as the anti-cut placement was hardly a corner at all.

The new points system has to make some difference when there's 3 pts to gain and so a '6 point swing' on Saturday between 1st and 2nd (if you finish the rally tomorrow)

Hard tyres paying off for Neuville.

Fourmaux faster than Taka on the mixed tyres.

It's bone dry and dusty.

Neuville just going for it whatever the tyres or road conditions.
