Just wanted to say the same. Would really like to hear it from him about how it feels compared to Hyundai but it really feels that he now has confidence to push and the car behaves like it should. Past years it felt that there is some hesitation on Tarmac but now it feels more like "old days". Sorry for the Estonian sunglasses I'm wearing but I'm happy

We know the Ford was/is winning material in the right hands.
It was the best car "out of the box" last year, but the number 1 and 2 drivers was not good enough to utilize the Puma.
If Tanak gel with the car and the team, he will be very dangerous for the others. Looking forward to the first rallies this year to see who are fast and who are not!

I really like Tanak, he's a nice guy and very very fast but i'm holding a small basket.Msport must first solved the small problems they had last year and then find the speed at fast rallyes.I;m expecting to be strong at slow rallyes like sardinia or Acropolis.Like someone said the front is loosing around at the test.

I got a message from Bluuford and he explained it well that there was a very small layer of ice on the roads, his measurements were sometimes even at 0,1 mm, so this and snow tires explains that bit.
And I agree with this hesitation part, this has gone from the vids we have been provided. My expectation are still not that high for Monte but it sure is very exciting times now.

Yeah this too but even the shared day with Loubet when driving with slicks. He looks more aggressive

No sidepod intakes on the Yaris Ogier test probably due to low ambient temperatures. Just a slit on the side.

Everything we've heard recently has been about the bodywork frame and the reference volumes. That took up all the WMSC chat and required passing after several months of deliberation. Fantastic! But...
