It’s only a short clip, but the Puma looks pretty good in that video, seems quite stable.

Eye tests are always a bit iffy and folk will have different views, but for me the Puma looks better and quicker than the Yaris. Ofcourse they could be at different stages in their development, but I quite like what I see from the Ford considering it's Matt Wilson driving ( a guy who is miles off the pace in the BRC).

Useless to compare tarmac and gravel testing. Different surface, different setups....

I agree, the Puma looks quicker than before in that clip. Encouraging!

Also the ALS on the Toyota sounds great, reminds me of the Mini WRC

Those 2 clips give me cause for hope. I wouldnt like to lose the current wow factor of watching these cars live

Puma test with great launch giving the full sound plus what looks like a fan running at the rear:

But apart from that its much neater overall with using the GR Yaris coupe bodyshell shape. The Puma SUV body isnt a pretty thing to start with.

i like the looks of the cars, IMO the Puma looks great not ugly but people are different. Toyota also looks cool.

About the performance, i like what im seeing so far but maybe thats because i really lowered my expectations when it was said they will be slower.

Considering its still quite early phase and its Matthew Wilson who is driving with the Puma, it doesnt look bad at all IMO.

Cant wait to see more vids in near future.
