WRC Testing

Not bad but one thing that disappoints me about the new WRCars is the sound. The Fiesta is as bad as the Focus was and in the Mikko video the DS3 sounds like a misfiring canal boat under braking

I think the cars sound just as good, what I miss is those clutch or bangs sounds the old ones did, especially the Focus, but we have to live with that.

Have You heard the new cars live? Fiesta for sure sounds much better than Focus live. DS3 is rather similar to C4 sound but Mini sounds the best for sure.

Not yet but it surprised me how similar to their predecessors that the cars sound on the videos despite all new rules and engines. Ok, they rev higher than before but Fiesta sill sounds boring to me.

Any footage of Mini testing well, er...anywhere doing anything recently????

PX61 AUP, haven't seen that one before, must be a brand new Fiesta. (Unless some PX60 *** got re-registered)

Off topic - But yes I agree -
Group B Lancia Delta S4 Rally Supercar 0-60 2.5 sec [in-car] - YouTube

This was the first search I did for a Delta S4 and maybe isnt the best example to demonstrate the noise, but it still sounds loads better than the current cars.

Weird, because Prokop's PX11 AWO was a brand new car for him..
