Neuville drove today. A small crash.

Anyone hear the DF podcast discussion on WRC testing and if it should be banned but instead teams can enter their cars/drivers at as many local rallies as they like ?
A barmy idea or a good way to show the Rally1 cars in action to more people ?

Let's build and race 1mil eur cars, but go nuts about 1-2 sets of extra tyres and some test days..
Another thing to make the series more attractive is to use only 1 engine per season to reduce the costs..

Yes. Apparently Neuville got ill and tested only one day. Breen will test then two days.
Today we got confirmed from Jarmo Lehtinen, in Kristian Sohlberg's twitch, that Katsuta's test days are taken from the 21 day quota only for the rallies where he is running for manu points. In the rallies where he drives fourth car, he has an extra 7 day test quota (like Serderidis).

You obviously have no idea how much more expensive, less value-for-money, and more unpleasant to work on for the team members it is, to go and compete on national rallies instead of running dedicated tests...
His point was entirely valid. What Turdfish propose in their latest podcast is madness. It should be the other way around, more testing days should be permitted (limit them to a number of fixed sessions in the year if necessary), but no current-generation cars should be used in national rallies. It's so much more expensive, and you can be sure that the teams will exploit that loophole to the maximum.
