Hopefully they spent eight days repeatedly driving over large rocks.

Looks like the info about Kalle hooking up with Skoda is true. Will be interesting to check the tyres he's on during that test.

It's interesting because I'm sure I read one of the things they...

I know it was definitely in Wales (as opposed to Greystoke). But not sure what roads got used.

Love the big numberplates. Always reminds me of Rally GB.

Nice photo from Rally Poland you mean...

Until Ogier starts to see DNFs from unreliability, or he starts to make mistakes pushing too hard, then I am not worried for him. Let's hope we get the close fight.

I guess everyone was in Corsica.

You could apply the same rationale to any question asked on the forum. In the grand scheme of life this is all irrelevant and unimportant. But here we are - talking to each other via a rally forum. ...

Yeah I know - I said 'they' meaning Toyota. Doesn't seem like a difficult question to answer really given it's almost April. Like a lot of their pre-season communications it makes people think there...

I find it strange they can't give a straight answer on this. Surely if it's not Portugal then there are some issues?

Heard from my friend in Portugal today that Hayden didn't get too much running done today. Clearly battling some issues.

Can't get away with anything these days can you. Eyes everywhere!

I think the stopwatch will tell us when the time comes. The thing we can't even begin to decipher from these videos is reliability. Very interested to see who got it right. It's my biggest fear for...

In years gone by all this stuff would have happened and no one would know a thing about it. Now in 2016 we get to over-analyse every small thing. Ripping a rear bumper off in testing seems pretty...

They are used during in-season testing on fully developed car very often. So nothing to worry about I don't think. The whole point of testing is to gather data.

Toyota taking some big swings at this aero. Constant progress or searching for answers? Clock is ticking...

Big fan of that Hyundai. It's really changed a lot in the last 3 months. Like Lunde says those big thick doors are really striking.

Motorsport News still reporting today that Citroen will not let anyone test the new car without a contract. Also that Toyota were quite slow to pick up the phone to Ogier - but would offer him around...

I didn't realise Toyota were testing those two cars at the same time. Side by side aero comparison I guess? Can't remember seeing a rally team do that before. Potentially M-Sport may have done it...

Yeah it's for the new regulated side impact honeycomb protection. You could see the VW get wider in the last evolution but this is way more pronounced on the Toyota.

I think it's a case where we've seen two completely different development curves. Citroen did all those early tests with a focus on testing parts, engines, suspension, internals etc. So aero wasn't...

Very interesting. Has to be good news for Elfyn. I guess getting his head around a 2017 car is more important than what tyres he is on for the moment.

I've absolutely loved watching all these different cars evolve at each test with small tweaks to their appearance. And there's still more to come. I really can't remember anything like this in the...

Very interesting Steve. Hyundai/Neuville are also in Wales testing today judging by his Instagram. Could only see the current car in his post.

For sure that car is looking different at the front now. Bigger radiator intake area. The lights look bigger but that might be an illusion.

A bit easier to check out the changes in gravel spec. Definitely looks different head-on but can't quite put my finger on what has changed. Bigger front radiator area maybe?
