    Prepping for Rally Turkey! Testing on rough roads in France with @MSportLtd this weekend. One day done, one to go and so far everything feels top. Love being back in the #WRC Fiesta again!! 😎 https://t.co/cSpGL53r35

    This is the wing used in Germany. Don't see any changes since then and nothing in common with the "secret" wing they tested in Finland.
    Is this a picture from the test in Greece that was before Germany?

    How sure are you that this pic is not from pre-Germany testing?
    Why would they first test a much smaller wing with massive changes in Finland and then go back to Greece with same wing?

    I notice in the link above that they are not using the electro-hydraulic system generally used on the rally stages. I can't even see the gear paddle behind the steering wheel. Anyone know the reason for this?

    Cost savings?

    Paddle is obviously there in place. I can see two reasons - paddle shifting system was broken and they continued driving with manual shifting or they were testing/checking backup system, as sometimes you need to do it. For sure it was not cost saving, you can see he needed to use clutch as cut-off system is not working without paddle, so for sure it was worse for gearbox internals/clutch than fully functioning paddle.

    That was not a test but codrives for journalists in Ford Performance Drive days. Next day with Pontus paddle shift worked fine again.
