Skodas cruising today, a shame for the fans but sensible for the team.

that comes with improved aero & car dimensions, so it's not bad, cars will be more stable at high speed.

More aero doesn't mean more safe. More aero downforce make it in my opinion much more tricky to drive, not easier.

+1. The speed will be higher, especially in the fastest turns, which are the most dangerous. Once things go wrong, I think the consequences could be bigger, not only for the drivers but also for spectators... But another question is, will they use all the possibilities in the regulations? Also the width of the cars can be more from 2017, but I would be surprised if manufacturers would use all of it. At some point it would become so wide that they don't fit into the ruts of "regular" cars anymore, that could be a problem for the 2nd pass. Maybe we can see the comeback of the funny wheels used until mid-2000s in snow rallies like Sweden?

Still a very impressive 'cruising' speed. No chance for Pontus to take the time back without a mistake from his team-mate. So it makes perfect sense like you say.

This performance has come at a very nice time for Lappi. His stock is very high. Linked with 3 works WRC drives. Would be strange for him to spend another full season in the Skoda next year.
