    Honestly, do you think it's safe to put one of these in Bertelli’s hands? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-1f-_Z58GE

    of course, bertelli would drive it a lot slower.

    in the end its the driver who has his foot on the throttle. they will only drive it as fast as they think is possible.

    No, and you should start reading my posts as a whole. Im not sure if it's safe to put those machines to anyones hand when they are pushing to the limit and trying to win rallies. Rally cars are going to be too fast next season.
    Hopefully next season dosen't end to a huge accident which might kill a whole sport. I don't see any manufacturer to stay in WRC if they have to start with a new regulations once again.

    nice fast places

    dont listen it with your headphones, you will be deaf
    Wondering if with these new cars and high aero-dependency we'll see less cutting. Theoretically it might be better to stay on the road.

    Dosen't matter whose driving but accidents happen, and from those speeds... It's going to be ugly.

    Aren't you being a drama queen? Tragic rally accidents can happen even with a Fiat 500.

    Again, the risk increase is manageable if spectator control, driver eligibility and route selection standards get a proper attention, as I believe they’ll get.

    Seems that even on tarmac the new cars slide even with the extra downforce. On both gravel and tarmac it's not a "throw the car sideways" type of driving but there's more powersliding on the exit. I guess the extra power plays a role in that.

    Let's be honest, it'll maybe be the best car, but the C3 is really ugly...

    The Fiesta looks way better!
