[WRC] News & Rumours 2020

[mknight]

Sadly this is press-release level of information, much like most info coming out when he was at Toyota.

Happy New Year everyone and we have our first "news" of the year.


Q. Whose set-up did you use?
Thierry (Neuville) and Séb (Loeb) had already driven the car and their settings are not so far apart. The car was quite similar to them and I drove like this. Then we were just doing some fine-tuning to the car after that. That was helping me get comfortable with the car, but you know at this level, if the car’s good then the car’s good. And this is a good one.

How does that explain Loeb being the slowest WRC on tarmac on the last rally while Neuville won it? Maybe there is more to it than just the car being "good" for a press-release.

(Though the car he drove was not the same car that Neuville/Loeb drove in Spain, at least what concerns diffuser, exhaust, roof vent and who knows what else.)
