If I had to name one name of being visibly guilty of that, it's Mikkelsen. Particularly in the i20. I don't know if that's his natural style or he's doing it to adapt to the car (though I imagine the former, having been watching some 2016 Polo '17 test videos lately), but on the last two Rally GBs I've seen him on (not so much in Finland), you could trust him to be more sideways and spectacular than even silliest bloke in a Mk2 Escort. Great entertainment, but couldn't be the quickest way round.
EDIT: Just to add, I've always thought that the '17 WRC regs should have been called 'WRC+', as there's such a difference between the pre and post 2017 cars. If nothing else, it'd have helped differentiate the two in 2017, and would probably be useful again in future if/when the 2017 cars are entered in national rallies. They're a substantially different class, so could do with something other than the cumbersome '2017' tag.Last edited by the sniper; 23rd June 2020 at 15:11.

TBH it's not much of an issue (and probably wont be in the future) as hardly any privateers have or will be able afford to run a '2017 Car'.
If its a World Rally Championship event it will be the latest spec car, if its a National event a 'WRC Car' will be 99% a 2016 or earlier.#M-SPORTER

Almost all Finn's since Paavo Nurmi who are fast in their sport have been called "Flying", particularly the 1960's rally drivers, but I was actually thinking of "Flying Finnish" - the timing line at...
