They may not be as fast as the 17 cars (so I’ve been told) but it certainly looks fast enough.

Fear not. It will be fast enough.

Great to watch these last vids. Some people in Estonian forum still think they will be only as fast as R5…

I still recommend not to read estonian forum or at least not take anything very seriously what's written there

That Puma looks really nose heavy.. If they all are and stay the same, we might see a lot of crashes..
Should be more stable..

I disagree, I think the car looks to have a much better and stable rear end than the current Fiesta. It squares up well and drives forward on power and doesn’t seem to over pitch or over rotate off power, my initial impression is this will give the drivers more confidence, certainly on gravel.
Might struggle with understeer on tarmac, but then so might the others as they won’t have the centre diff to tune like this year.

I think TypeR meant that the car lands nose first after jumps but this could have many factors causing it.

But yes, in the videos the Puma lands on his nose very often
