Read an article on wrcwings the other day showing how the snorkels affect the aero, especially the rear.
Malcolm Wilson said on Nicky Grist’s video that its mainly for the fesh-fesh rather than water.
Does anyone know if they can be fitted/removed by the crews on the road sections, or only in service?

to me it looks like the toyota one could seriously impede the airflow to the rear spoiler.

but perhaps it can create extra downforce in the center due to its shape.

Toyota’s one is very clever, where the air from the air vent is entering the snorkel and is re-pressurising the whole system.

First stage of the rally will be live soon, looking forward to it

Not so bad for a super special stage, quite long with 4,5 kms. Some spectacular images.

Mistakes are easy to make it seems.

It’s a tricky little stage, it doesn’t look like it from the outside but there’s lots of tightening corners and bends after crests, we had a small off in 2022 which cost 15-20 seconds. And of course nasty banks on the inside so must avoid cutting.
