Strange for Gryazin to test the Fiesta WRC in snow when there's no more snow rallies to come in this car. Maybe just to have a general feel of the car.

I'm pretty sure he is driving one..
M-Sport wouldn't risk losing another car before rally for just letting Gryazin test one on snow/ice.. + Gryazin getting totally different driving feeling..


Maybe I'm wrong after all..
E: Russian rally driver Nikolai Gryazin tested the M-Sport team's "Ford Fiesta WRC" in Lapland on Monday. As Grjazins admitted after the tests, who will start in the Lapland rally with a "Volkswagen Polo GTI R5 car", then "Cool sensations." An interesting machine. The roads were slippery, so I couldn't show all the potential, "says Nikolai Gryazin.

Some reactions (google translate) from Gryazin - Go4speed website. I did not see anything more. No words about the start. Maybe Gus will not start and the car is free to use but only for this kind of activities. If they need second scorer for rally, can just "upgrade" Bertelli.

'What surprised me was that the car drove smoothly. At least that's how I felt while sitting behind the wheel, but when you watch the video, you realize that driving is faster and more unusual compared to an R5 car. Yes, in slow corners the speed is the same as in the R5, but in the fast sections the driving is very different, because when you watch the video, you realize that you would not be able to drive so fast with the R5. This is something you have to get used to when driving a WRC car. '

Seems like testing day Fourmaux also tested WRC car.

Great day in the cold and the snow. It was Fiesta WRC on the menu today! The learning continues little by little. Back to Rally2 tomorrow for the pre-Arctic Rally testing!
