Taking this over here from the Rally2 thread.
And in my book this is good. A top class car in either of the motorsports should be very hard to handle. It should be a good gap between Rally1 and Rally2. A youngster with little experience should not be able to hop into a Rally1 car and be able to match the best drivers in the world.
I am guessing the Rally2 cars has ca 300 hp, and Rally1 maybe 400+100 hp. Then the Rally1 should be a handful to master when all 500 horses gallop at once, and the drivetrain makes it even harder to master these machines. If they have a bit less aero as well, we are moving in the right direction.
Hopefully the new spaceframe is made strong enough to protect the crew when and if they loose against in the battle against the machine.

Few weeks ago during Barum rally Mr. Vlček (boss of Kowax team and a rally driver himself) said that he found the new i20 much easier to drive than the old one but he complained the engine was weak compared to the old one (not anymore 4B11 based?). Vlček is a gentleman driver who doesn't push the car as much as Huttunen but still it's somewhat weird contradiction.

At the tarmac tests of Puma, the rear internal wheel often was lifted.
I do not remember this to happen at the current cars.
