Spectacular driving by Mares in particular.. the twisty bit through the town is a good place to compare. The old Fabia is super agile (remember Kopecky's Deutschland SSS win?)
New one you can see the extra size, on the other hand it looks tighter in body control. Both look powerful from low revs but Kopecky says the power delivery in the new one is instant, even from below tickover revs.

Any direct comparison is nice at this stage and what you say is correct re body control. The size of the RS is apparent too.. it looks as big as the Focus WRC in the video. Originally Posted by RS

Will watch Huttunen’s times in Estonia with interest. Watching onboards from Latvia the car looks kinda heavy/lazy compared to other Rally2s. Originally Posted by AnttiL

Well, lets wait and see on the Fiesta rear suspension upgrade. This has been the problem issue area for the Mk2 since the start. Hopefully they have found the root cause, and fixed it.

Fastest on the superspecial (SS1) which was quite a good test of agility. Originally Posted by RS

Actually this kind of stages say nothing about the car ability. Huttunen is pretty good on them. Let’s see tomorrow. Originally Posted by Fast Eddie WRC
