Am I the only one who notices a large difference in the sound of the Yaris WRC engine compared to last year? Something to do with some added ignition, like Hyundai already had last year? ;)

I think Huttunen had a day of testing. I think last sunday. Spectating on Belgian tests was mostly forbidden however, so it's unlikely anyone has some footage from it.

Suninen, Kristensson and Rossel testing for Ypres.

Saw some images from yesterday (through whatsapp, so can't share it here), him crashing was more a question about "when", not "if"... Maybe good it happened now and not on the first stage. I heard...

A few photos from Ogier yesterday:

Video from Ogier today. Was pretty impressed by how fast he was, and how few runs it took to be really fast. I think they already defined a very good...

I think the teams will decide for themselves what's most rewarding to invest in. The fact that since the beginning (2017) they continuously work on the aero, means there's something to be won with it.

You don't find settings for places where you cannot cut, simply because all stages have mostly corners where will be cut. I don't see the use of testing on a clean "uncut" stage for Ypres, especially...

Went to see Tänak this afternoon. He didn't do many runs (and according to what I heard, even less in the morning), also didn't look very confident until late in the afternoon. Quite interesting to...

Gryazin and Munster testing for South Belgian...

Mikkelsen was testing with Škoda Motorsport in the Ypres region today. They were using Pirelli tyres.

I don't think it's that bad for WRC. Teams that have more money to spend, will spend it anyway, and that will always bring an advantage. Having them testing on local rallies gives the other teams...

Very impressive video from Ogier. Makes you wonder how dominant he could be if this car fits him like the Polo did...

Small interview with Loeb concerning the car's behaviour. I tried...

The surface has to be repaired indeed. The wetter it gets, the more the roads get destroyed. That's also why Wales Rally GB has such huge repair costs (a few years ago it's continuation was in danger...

Normally he already had a test last week on wednesday but they cancelled that one due to the snow. ;)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BkPJvhaYnew&feature=youtu.be "Huttunen"! Most entertaining "testing" video I've seen so far... :D

I think you've read a bad joke somewhere... :) I've heard for the later generation of 2L WRC cars it was around 200 euros/km. Sure it hasn't doubled for the first-gen 1.6T WRC cars, as they're less...

Maybe they'll have this 0-car in Monte. :D

Remember how much time Latvala lost in Wales 2014 without rear wing... The rear end of the car was all over the place.

Well, usually there are such compressions in the rally too... ;)

What is that light on the bumper?

How do you know if it's improving? It's a compilation, we don't know which shots were taken first in this video... :) It looks nice indeed, like most testing videos. Remember that after a number of...
