WRC Testing

Saw some images from yesterday (through whatsapp, so can't share it here), him crashing was more a question about "when", not "if"... Maybe good it happened now and not on the first stage. I heard some rumor a new shell is already on it's way.

Apparently he rolled the car three times, so bodyshell completely destroyed.

What makes you think he won't just do it again?!

O.Solberg for Ypres

For me the monolitic red on the whole bumper ruins the looks of the car (from the front).

Maybe some more stickers will help, but for some reason there seems to be very few so far.

Often they use mono colored bumpers in testing (in winter they even take the rear bumper off)

Thing is if this is "test only" then why the black "design" stripes near the grille?

Let's hope the final design is better.

Any info if Huttunen got any test at all?
(He did drive on tarmac a few weeks ago, but on very different roads)

I think Huttunen had a day of testing. I think last sunday. Spectating on Belgian tests was mostly forbidden however, so it's unlikely anyone has some footage from it.
