It's Portugal PET, he will have additional test days for Mexico.

As much as I like those helmet cams in rally cars I also know in general it's dangerous in case of accident and FIA will never allow it...

Paddle is obviously there in place. I can see two reasons - paddle shifting system was broken and they continued driving with manual shifting or they were testing/checking backup system, as sometimes...

I think he will drive with this car on upcoming round of Finish champs

"transmission" it's not only how gearbox is downshifting, but also diffs for example...

highly possible it will stay like that for next wrc rallies.

it also depends on springs you use and damper clicks, so it can be different from car to car, even from the same team.

All WRC teams are doing shakedowns near the HQ before going for rallies, tests, etc. For MSport different drivers are doing that, for Hyundai Abbring for example. MSport is always using Kirkbride...

Enginewise PSA cars are not that bad. Sure ALS is not that aggressive like in Ford or Skoda, and you even can't choose any level of it. So it makes the difference in slow corners. Fabia has most...

With low number of gears gearboxes, or gearboxes with long gears important problem is that it's not easy to choose proper gear in some conditions plus also main problem is downshifting - it's easy to...

Not defending Toyota or anyone else.
Just when you have few runs on video it's hard to judge about general performance of the car.
Usually things like slight oversteering are very easy solvable...

You can also easily change the topmount, so it makes the situation even more easy. But anyway interesting, totally different approach it looks like.

I don't know the values, but you can feel big difference in grip on the rear when driving R5 without original rear wing. Also when you install big WRC rear wing then you feel big advantage over...

With Camili it looks more scary than it really was, so no big deal

It's a lot more, maybe not x2 but over x1,5 for sure.

Even very small rear spoiler on R5 Fiesta makes big difference, very difficult to drive without it

dampers in Fiesta are Reigers. Rear brake cooling ducts are quite important, all fiesta 4wd rally cars had problems with rear brakes cooling, especially on gravel. Judging on how mechanics look like...

for me it's the same sound, just with exhaust without silencer part, that was an option. I doubt they already have new spec engine.

rumors Toyota crashed hard during tests in Finland yesterday?

Kubica testing today also

This used to be Peugeot Sport test car, maybe now in hands of Trajectoire

Just by removing silencer in the exhaust you're making sound of the WRC car completely different. No change in performance. But usually when car is louder/sounds more aggressive people think/have...

Some time ago when I was at MSport they had there new body fiesta WRC with tuned up engine - turbo from Focus WRC I think, bigger restrictor, etc, etc. It was sounding nice!!!
I'm not telling Rossi...

They done some testing, but from what I know they don't know their exact plans yet, so don't know if will ever use that car in rally. They also consider R5 program with young drivers, but nothing is...

Hyundai is testing today in Rally Poland area. First of Manufacturer teams to come here this year.
