WRC Testing

[tommeke_B]

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?

Already heard some people mention that on previous tests. But they said there's an upgrade. I have no idea what they have done, but I know that the exhaust is one of the few parts that can be modified in the engine, and one that shapes the sound.

I´m sure I mentioned it earlier. Could be heard on late rallies last year also.

Having watched them all so far, the M-Sport test was so much more exciting. Maybe the roads used or the conditions but still a real thrill compared to the other tests.

PS. Not sure if posted but this shows Tanak changing a wheel on the Puma at the end:

As we said before Puma seems to sit a litlle higher than the others two and also moving alot, maybe its the settings but the others looks alot more stable.

Just a week left to find out how fast someone is. And better comparisons when fans are filming the cars passing the same places in stages

The surfaces and road is so different in Ford tests and in Toyota and Hyundai tests so it isn’t really comparable IMO
