    Therefore they need to test more. Simple.

    Note that this will be his 4th tarmac rally in the car this year, excluding Monte.

    Not sure how much it helps though, cause again in Spain he would come to the stage end thinking it would be a good time only to see he is the last WRC. Same thing happened as early as in Monte on Sunday.

    How do you then judge improvements if there is no other WRC to compare with?
    He did 3 scratches in spain, as much as sordo and more than ogier. Only neuville and tanak did better.

    So the speed still is in there somewhere, but he just can't seem to get it out on a reliable continuous base.
    They have the telemetry data, so they should be able to know perfectly where and why he loses time.

    He "feels" it's fast but the time relative to others doesn't reflect it. When there is nobody to compare with only yourself, then you can only compare first and second passes, which is kind of hard as there is always a difference between them on a normal rally. (if road gets polluted it's slower, otherwise it's faster because of "knowing" the conditions of the stage)

    "Feeling" not matching results is something totally new for Loeb on tarmac, just like it was for Mikkelsen last year.

    On a test where you run same road multiple times it's easy to measure difference (though obviously it has own issues due to finetuning the setup to that particular section). But obviously the big advantage of "free" test days on rally are important here.

    We are talking about Tarmac, on tarmac he was nowhere near where he should be. With one 3rd time as best, then 5.,6., 2x7., 2x8., 3x9. and 10..

    Will you all consider that he is marketing tool for Hyundai? Maybe he just enjoys driving that thing in various tarmac events

    Today is the day?

    I have a feeling they won’t announce it because of all the fuss around it.
