[WRC] 73. Secto Rally Finland 2024

Pajari livery looked awesome in real life.

The black Toyotas are so meh

This! The black "livery" is horrible.

That’s why I liked Rovanperä‘s livery, was a good mix in-between although the white car i.e. Pajari’s will always look cool (as long as the door handles are white too, sounds silly but it makes all the difference). Just think how many times we’ve seen the WRC new generation cars (whichever generation) in PET for Monte-Carlo and we say in this Forum, “this white test car with black/white alloys looks so good”.

The fact that Sesks is not good on tarmac doesn't change the gravel comparison.

So you already know that Sesks is faster from Adrien at gravel slow rallies?
I am not so sure...
We have to wait to see Sesks at more rallies, before jumping to conclusions .

By this logic, the one who is faster on fast rallies, can actually be slower on slow rallies? Sorry, what?! Only experience of surface and how hard you can push to find the line makes difference.

Yes indeed... it hasn't grown on me at all.

It may look reasonable in photoshoots, but in real life it's awful You mostly just see the big white G on the side with the R blending in to the black.

It's possible. For example, Neuville is mostly faster than Evans on slow gravel rallies, Evans is mostly faster than Neuville on fast gravel rallies.

Maybe the characteristics of the cars come to play as well - Toyota better on the fast stuff and Hyundai better on the slow stuff, hence the difference in the pace of the drivers..

even thinking some of the liveries were "meh" (maybe too simple?) i still rather having that than 3 or 4 cars all painted the same.

Why not, finding and properly executing perfect line through stage with mostly straights and fast corners seems quite different than doing it on stage where there is one slow corner after another.
