Can we separate the 2022 Rally 1 car testing from the 2021 PET's and put posts in the thread below:

Why?

Why?

Save having to look in two places for the latest info on the 2022 cars.

this is testing thread and on that thread theres more like articles and it isnt that active.

+ the current gen. cars will be testing only till november and after that they are done....so we would have to come back again to this thread with the hybrid cars.

thats why i write Puma or Yaris Hybris when i post so people could see the difference.

No need to separate testing threads! Exactly how EstWRC wrore....

The 2 day testing Mikkelsen did in Sardinia with Pirelli this week was with Tuohinos Fiesta WRC on tarmac.

Likely Pirelli has some upgrades before Spain. 2 day testing sounds quite excessive ( and expensive), not quite sure what Pirelli gains from it tbh.

Mikkelsen says the Fiesta turns great on tarmac.
Note that he has 2017 Polo, 2017 C3 (great), 2017-2018 Hyundai (terrible) and 2019 C3 (bad) as reference:

MSport was testing with Puma on gravel at same time. I'd guess this was coordinated for spare parts/mechanics reasons. Last time right before Sardinia they had to get parts from MSport in the service park when something broke.

I do wonder how this works with the test day limits for MSport. Does it count towards them or not? MSport uses only minimum of test days for the current car this year, but they seem to be using a lot on the Puma, so they might run low in the end.
