    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

    It looks strange over the jumps, even small ones. The extra weight must be a factor, but at the same time it seems to continue without it causing a problem to the driver.

    No.... The stage surface was very irregular, with many potholes causing such unbalance, we'll have to wait for a more smooth terrain.

    Front aero is still W.I.P on the Puma. They are using a different bumper this time with higher sidewalls (visible from the Ford logos on the sides not aligning). Let's wait for the final homologation before jumping into conclusions.

    It looks a bit like a Group A car over the bumps doesn't it?

    which IMO will make them excellent to watch (and perhaps better than the current cars)

    Thought the same, not sure I like it. It doesn't look impressive what so ever.
