How does.Serderidis in Monte fit into this testing days theories? He is not manu nominated, yet was testing.

With respect to Serdenisis, for MSport it would be best to have a driver whose feedback they can use to improve the car for that. I doubt feedback from him is very useful.
In either case this approach is contrary to what was claimed. The claim was that it is better for MSport to run fewer cars and get more testing days per driver. Yet if what you write is true it is better to have more cars, just not nominate them for points.

Can anyone confirm that it isn't possible to spectate on the shakedown. It's listed as non-spectator but wanted to check it isn't merely to discourage the masses.

So to maximize test days run as many as possible non manu nominated drivers, but on max 7 rounds per driver.
That would seemingly fit MSport strategy from last year.
But I guess main problem is not the lack of test days for development, but the lack of test days for finding car settings for a given rally and for finding car settings it's more tricky to use different drivers.
Anyway last 5 years clearly show that any possible exploit for more test days is likely to be exploited, by the teams that have money for it.
was playing v-rally 3 on my game boy advanced emulator here. such a fun game. some stages have reaaally fun elevation changes and some good scenery by the shore (i guess its the french event). you...
