It just shows how out of balance the MSport chassis really is if they are trying that. Fundamentally, the front and rear of the car are just not working together. We have seen it from the very first tests with the Puma, the rear is very roll stiff and the front is very roll soft, like a 2017 spec Hyundai, that car had the tricky diffs to play with to help compensate though.
These roads with the smooth tarmac and long corners are completely exposing the relative qualities of each of the chassis, and the Toyota is miles ahead, the whole car just works as one.
When I heard Millener on the commentary trying to half blame the drivers for the speed of the car, I knew they were doomed because that’s just deflecting what is blatantly obvious to anyone watching with half a clue.
