WRC Testing

[er88]

The car sounds amazing, and tbf in that last video it looks like it's being driven properly. The clips that were uploaded in the last few days made me think a few OAPs had taken over driver duties

Just a stupid question. I could have missed that info. Has Michellin already homologated 2017 tyres ? All those testing sessions are on new or this years tyres?

[EstWRC]

should be this years tyres.

Thanks.
So maybe thats why Team Finland are lift and coasting in the corners, cause Makkinen life's work is such a beast that they don't want to stress the tyres, you know accidents could easily happen.

Reason for Toyotas current 2 car testing is "engine endurance", so they are driving lot of KM´s

from videos I watched with the white car,most of time is without als,how they will see engine durability without the stress of antilag?
camo yaris is almost always with antilag engaged.

I'm sure there is a video of the Fiesta testing on that exact same stage early in the thread

On this video the Yaris doesn’t look slow: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gibN30wRRjg

Maybe the engine is still lacking some torque, but the chassis seems already pretty balanced.

Considering what Makinen and his team have achieved in so little time, people should praise a bit more their efforts. For sure they aren’t at the level VW showed before entering WRC, but they seem to be more or less on Hyundai’s pre WRC stage.

The jealously and hatred that motivated such a negative prejudgment over Makinen’s team are difficult to understand, but it’s funny to see that most of today’s critics were much more complacent when the project was developed by TMG, a structure that factually has failed in motorsport for more than a decade...

It really is Mäkinens team, the pictures of the lancer on the wall, all of his friends working there, only finns driving and so on. It allmost that you forget about the Toyota part.

Does winning the FiA WEC 2 years ago count as failure???
