A pair of longer videos of Meeke and Lefebvre testing the C3 WRC 2017. The end of the first one will surprise you

Some friends of mine were watching Meeke today in Mondim de Basto. I was said that he was pushing really hard. Some photos I've receibed or these ones done by Fabio Leite probe it:

Was going very hard, another video:

Watching more and more videos of the 2017 cars, so far at least they don't seem as on rails as people were fearing. In fact the extra power may allow a more slidey style than current cars.

The rear suspension layout is interesting, damper-vise looks like more or less the same as the current Polo. Initially I thought they'd go for something creative on the front as well given the layout on the C-Elysée, but I was wrong (again ).

That concern was mainly about asphalt and some Polo testing videos support it.

I was fearing the same could happen for gravel. But yeah on asphalt the cars are closer to circuit racers now. Maybe they should change the tyre rules and/or impose minimum ride height and maximum suspension stiffness.

we have to think that center active diff will not be setup 100% yet(about the how sideways 2017 will be)

Sorry but that makes no sense in the situation when they introduced advanced aero packages, wider track and active center diffs which all go hard against any sliding.

Actually I don't understand the rules at all. What is the point of having a super fast boring cars. I am also quite sure that these cars will be definitely more dangerous than current ones mainly due to a lot higher cornering speed and high dependance on the aerodynamic downforce.
