LOL... its like a family bussines over at makinen village team....

Don´t remember, but he wasn´t on your list, right?

As the god you are, you forgot him. So no family business in this case. As a god you must have known that long ago.

I am not sure that everyone here is seriously estimating performance from the videos and the pics we have seen but to you who do so... *laughing out loud*
Wait until season proper and three-four events has passed. First then I'm going to listen to anyone commenting on their performance relative to the others.

...and as far as looks go (disregarding the silly "masking" paint and the silly wing) it is the best looking -17 car so far. The Polo is by far the ugliest.

come on any details from tests? did they used antilag at any passes? reliability? what tyres are they using? shocks?

I've not seen the car myself yet. And besides, no point giving any comments here, because they'd be met by "slower than a bag of sand" kind of responses year in, year out.

Think it has been standard to have a sense of humour in assessing new cars. And that includes the god himself I do believe. Very well for me though nothing can be said seriously at this stage.

Looks good, sounds VW esk under breaking/down shift.
Looks low and aerodynamic, those wingmirrors are cool and the rear wing looks innovative which is def a good thing.
Would be cool to know what FEA modeling and testing facilities they have in Finland. Looks like a fair amount of work has been done.

Def looking positive! Hope they find some decent drivers with a bit of experience.

Exciting times for the WRC with 4 committed manufactures!

It's hard to get a sense from the 2017 test videos. I would be interested to know whether it's possible to hear these new cars for longer before they come into view. It's really ridiculous at the moment and one of my biggest issues with the current crop of cars.

It should sound like a war is approaching.

Totally agree, I always remember the old Subarus were like a ball of angry energy approaching

I am guessing that after the first spy shots the other teams are already starting to up their aero-work.
