And when you have an off or something breaks, you'll have to call M-Sport for a quote in the tune of thousands... Yeah, no. Bring back off the shelf parts, ffs. No coincidence Rally 3 is starting to gain some traction as a regular rallying solution...

What a hybrid-less Rally1 Puma will be like according to M-Sport:

This Sesks 'exercise' is also being used as an advert to those who could run one on national events. Hopefully it might bring M-Sport some long-awaited sales.

If they didnt replace hybeid with balast, bet it would be faster than rally1. Why cant we see if hybrid really makes the var faster?

Hello everyone,

I'll be coming to rajd Polski for the first time, leaving and arriving tomorrow

If anyone has any tips about which stages to see or some good viewing points, please share.

It is so warming to see that this forum is still alive, in the era of social networks, and that some usernames from 15-20 years ago are still around

Honestly it is quite difficult to find a spot for a fan, its just between fields and no big trees

No way, it would be faster without ballast.
The car and chassis is designed to carry that 100kg extra weight at the back of the car.
Even if the HY doesn't work, it help the overal balance to work..

High speed rally, will the hybrid be as missed as a slower round?

M-Sport is a business and has to make money to survive. You have had to go to them for certain parts for decades, even Sadev won’t sell you parts for a dog box for a Fiesta ST, you have to go through M-Sport. For the amount they have to spend in R&D then I don’t have an issue with it. Just wish it wasn’t say a 14 week for a gearbox part…

It shouldn't as there is more time spent at high speed and less accelerating out of slower corners.

Sesks's times will be hard to compare though as he has a lot to get used to with the new car and using the extra aero.

Watching the shakedown, will there be this much tarmac on the stages?
