[WRC] News & rumours (part III)

[Mirek]

Toyota GT86 CS-R3 is very much good to see that Porsches

For me the GT86 is way too underpowered to be spectacular (of course with spectacular driver anything can be spectacular).

Like we saw with Snijers in Condroz

I saw it only on dry asphalt and I wasn't impressed with it. In my opinion the engine is weak. I can't imagine this car could regularly fight with DS3 or Clio R3T.

Tony Simpson on Twitter hinting that the co-driver merry-go-round hasn't finished spinning yet. Any ideas what he's on about?

[EstWRC]

Maybe Kubica? there was something about him and his co-driver.

Veiby's New co-driver is stig rune skjærmoen. He was the first co-driver Ole Christian veiby had, when he did youth rally!

I'm not french but can understand something.

He says that WRC is very spectacular sport but it suffers of too few exposition on media.
Then he says that the 2017 cars will look more spectacular and will be more fast, which is good but they are faster on straights, not in acceleration and in techincal parts. This is not good because it is the world championship and also those parts should be spectacular. He says tough that the teams are working to find a way throug more "couple" and more turbo pressure, to improve acceleration.

At the end he says something very interesting:
"There must be a way to improve videos, camera's angles, maybe using different cameras or different video editing."
And then he makes a comparison between his onboards and Ken Block's videos results. I don't understand if he says that it is not normal that they have the same number of viewers (assuming that he is the world champion and should have more), but I would wait a french to translate this last part.

I wonder if they take into account all the video's in social media, maybe they should be better at sharing them as well?
Only me alone managed 1.3 mill views on the two events i did this year, all in all it counts up to a lot of views.

Correction to the translation by AL14

It is more or less what he translated.

In the first part, he doesn't say the team is working to find more couple and turbo pressure, but that they asked the FIA to have rules which allow more couple and power.

At the end, he says it looks like he is driving to the shop if you compare his videos with Ken Block videos... (which I don't agree at all, KB videos is playing, WRC is a sport)
