WRC Testing

[doubled1978]

Am I the only one who saw low grip on front wheels? I know it's testing and the road was slippery in hairpins but something was off for me from the cars behaviour

Often on Monte test the cars look bad or weird, a lot of it is they are testing all the tyre options so don’t have the maximum amount of grip.
I think some of the videos it looks like he has the studded tyre on.

Well. How does he look today?

Very different roads and conditions (dry
but very rough, dirty and bumpy) but Tanak and the Puma look amazingly confident and comfortable. Veryipressive from the pair and bodes well for Monte.

Watching all the Tänak vids then I can agree with one thing what’s been said here - the boy definitely doesn’t seem to lack any confidence with the machine. But testing is testing

And is it just me that he drives the puma way more aggressively than he did with i20 the past three years ?

Also, I noticed they used the old style mirrors yesterday, I wonder if it was planned so or they just ran out of the current ones with two days cause the kept losing them with every pass

Just wanted to say the same. Would really like to hear it from him about how it feels compared to Hyundai but it really feels that he now has confidence to push and the car behaves like it should. Past years it felt that there is some hesitation on Tarmac but now it feels more like "old days". Sorry for the Estonian sunglasses I'm wearing but I'm happy

We know the Ford was/is winning material in the right hands.
It was the best car "out of the box" last year, but the number 1 and 2 drivers was not good enough to utilize the Puma.

If Tanak gel with the car and the team, he will be very dangerous for the others. Looking forward to the first rallies this year to see who are fast and who are not!

I really like Tanak, he's a nice guy and very very fast but i'm holding a small basket.Msport must first solved the small problems they had last year and then find the speed at fast rallyes.I;m expecting to be strong at slow rallyes like sardinia or Acropolis.Like someone said the front is loosing around at the test.

It looks aggresively because of snow tyres they are moving and slide at tarmac.
