WRC Testing

No way are 2017 cars like Group B... its a totally different era.

Group B were 200 specialised, superlight, often mid-engined supercars with massive power over anything before them.

2017 are upgraded WRC's we have been watching for years.

Best thing about them and best GpB comparison is their sound.

Each entitled to his own opinion

If you compare the Group 4 Audi quattro to the first Group B Audi quattro (the long one), and then that to the first S1, etc - you will see that everything did not happen over night in Group B.
And in the Lancia Stratos and Alpine 110 we earlier had cars that raised the bar with a great amaount when it comes to speed and exotica.
But off course, the most special Group B cars where very exotic - no doubt about it. But this is not my point.

1 sec pr km in the faster sections is a HUGE increase in speed on already crazy fast cars. These cars will be something REALLY special, and in speed they will have an immense impact.
So this - in my opinion - is the moder equivalent to the Group B, and will be the start of a very exiting era in the WRC.
I would almost like to call the new cars WRC+
This is going to be VERY, VERY special indeed, and it will be talked about for many years to come

I tend to agree Lunde.

It's a lot more, maybe not x2 but over x1,5 for sure.

Ah okay, thanks for that. It's not really worth doing then for what would be relatively little gain.

Rumour of Adapta could be true
