SS Čečelovice, Rally Pačejov. IMO very well selected stage. Btw. they even placed the service on a Měčichov village square in front of a local pub where there is normally a crowded spectator area -...

SS Malonty, Rallye Český Krumlov. Great stage but IMO somewhat bumpier than majority of the CER millage.

Per, what Walach meant is that the road used for the test is super smooth in the local rally standards (the test was held in a Barum rally area). Anyway the Czech CER stages are no Pindula-like...

Likely combined with not optimal rebound settings. My guess.

That's quite normal I guess. Usually the testing reg. plates are registered on the manufacturer's name not on a particular chassis. There is no need to arrange more of them if they are available.

Comparing data from different sources (onboard data logging and held-held radar from a spectator) is IMHO not a good way. It can be and most likely is misleading. I would take it easy.

Also don't...

I can't help myself but that "not at all a diffuzor but somewhat a diffuzor" makes the cars look awkward from behind.

The main reason for having them in the middle side by side is to have larger deformation zone on the outer side. Since it is very small every centimeter counts. It helps a little bit also with the...

I wouldn't bet on that because of how late they started the testing of the actual 2022 cars. Everything seems to be pointing out to them being behind the schedule

They are two door. They only resemble four door stock ones.

Heavy snow falls are not that unusual in Monte. In the four editions I visited only once the rally didn't have at least one.

That looks like a normal steel bodyshell, doesn't it?

Probably yes. If I remember right Škoda was sometimes doing up to 300 km per day with one car and one crew even in early S2000 days more than ten years ago.

Only a little note to this. I guess that Germany, like many other countries, has an exception for car manufacturers to use plates not registred to particular chassis numbers. Of course normal people...

I'm surprised by myself but I like it.

Do they really have ALS or do I hear wrong?

2:39 Lindholm's landing on the jump is an epitome of an absolute perfection in suspension settings.

To me it reminds the delta ECV (except from the rear). I still don't like it though :)

It's probably same or similar as Rally2. It makes little sense to limit the travel more.

Yes, the function of ALS is to keep the turbo rotating at maximum speed when the throttle valve is closed. The larger the turbo, the higher inertia it has and the more it suffers from lagging. It...

And that is perfectly logical. Having an ALS in a hybrid car would be ridiculous.

If I understand it right the suspension of these new cars shall be closer to the Rally2/R5 in both the travel, dampers and the overal design.

For sure yes. Without the active center differential you need to throw it in drifts much more. I expect something like a more powerful WRC car from 2011-2016.



Which means that on most of the...

Well, it is clear from the very beginning that there won't be any wow effect. When the current WRC regs came they brought a lot faster machines than the previous ones but that's absolutely not the...
