watched a few of the above clips of the ford wrc
does it sound like its bogging down (slightly hesitating) on initial launch sometimes?

Is it just me or does the car seem on the soft side?

It seems to squat a lot under acceleration. This could be down to geometry/squat/anti-squat, but also springs and or low speed compression in the rear? Or heavy rebound in the front?
This gives the car a very clear rake, with the front high up in the air, for a long time after initial acceleration, wich is the exact opposite of what You want in regards to aerodynamics?

The car has also a pronounced roll from side to side, that for me at least look a little bit excessive.

But i am guessing that this is a "Germany-special" set up, and not the same as to be used in the Tour de Course?

Either way I am impressed by Paddon on tarmac. He seems to have good precision.
