Entertaining mostly if you speak scandinavian, but it is subtitled

In one of his question and answer sessions earlier this year Hayden explained the simple reason as to why we can no longer see onboard through the screen shots taken from a camera mounted behind the seats like we used to.

Basically the current car is quite restricted in the cockpit size and the current seats with all there inbuilt safety features take up pretty much the full width of the cockpit and as a result you cannot get a shot through the screen.
It is as simple as that.

With the 2017 car there is more interior width available and once again we should be able to get to good old through the screen shots that everyone enjoys so much.

so clearly there is enough space to place the camera between the seats, even in the current wrc cars.

It's not just the position, the width of camera lens is also crucial. Most of the modern ones are extremely wide and objects are so unreal that the human brain feels sort of "unhappy" and rejects it subconsciously. In Formula 1 in recent events they put an experimental "narrow" camera behind driver's shoulder and the result is amazing, the action is much more direct and influental.

I am pretty sure this bitch doesn't simply stay at home alone when he is abroad at events.

I've always suspected that, somehow, our dear Jari Matti could actually not be that much disappointed in that case.

watching SS1 from Barcelona... Wouldnt be good for WRC to have "more stages" like these SS1 in the middle of the cities? Like.. 4 stages inside cities? Just for the Promotion, TV, close Public? (SS1 are not my fav stages, but the format is excellent for TV, specially for 2017 cars. They are looking soooo eye-candy haha)
