Two weeks ago I went to a rally with my son after more than a year. He plays rally on computer, sometimes watches rally online with me and has driven in noisy "performance" cars before.
After R5s a 208 Rally2 came... son's reactions:
"Daddy why can't they make electric rally cars so they don't make so much noise?" (holding his ears)
Funnily enough, some weeks ago I took my 12 and 7 year old nephew's to Rally de Portugal, they enjoyed it massively. Their number 1 complaint? The wait times and the lack of noise from the cars .
He was stopped where they turn off rd 160 for a long time as the others were on their way , i did update to say he was now moving towards the stage start
Toyota have gone 1-2-3-4-5 on Stage 14. If there was ever a hint on the performance gap between the two manufacturers, this is it.
