video is a bit fast.

[Mirek]

Do You think so? In my opinion it is real speed.

[RS]

I agree with Mirek, it looks fairly consistent with the other videos to me.

Either way, the car looks very well sorted and I am curious to see how it will do on the stages.

[Mirek]

Usually when videos are speed up You can recognize some sounds which doesn't sound right, people around stages move like in a 1910 movie and the grass or trees in the wind move too fast. I can't see any such things here.

[TheFlyingTuga]

Yup, me neither. When I saw dimvii coment last night I thought that he was being sarcastic. What I see in that video it's a fast car with a fast driver. I've saw the Fiesta, 208 and DS3 cars with good drivers, and I don't see them runing like that. Skoda will probably be the "machine" in R5. But, eyes can be fooled and the clock it's what counts... let's see how the car do in Rally Portugal... I'm going to see it first hahaha :P

I think testing videos often look more impressive than stage action because when you pound down the same road fifty times you get to know it really well, but the car does look really good.
