    Sorry, but for me I just much prefer the top cars. Even with someone like Al-Qassimmi driving it.

    I like the old, normally aspirated stuff... anything that makes a noise.
    New Fabia sounds much louder and more aggressive on the testing videos, still no WRCar but hopefully a step forward.

    Basically changes are as follows:
    Distance between objects raised from 7,5 to 10 meters because cars are larger. Another change is the penalties. When you hit a part of a chicane it will be a 10 sec penalty, for completely ignoring chicane or destroying it it will still be 30 sec penalty. If you ignore chicane when it is destroyed by another competitor and you don't follow the driving line trough chicane also 30 sec penalty.
