Our Rally2 test team recently headed to Donegal, Ireland, for four days of development testing on some of rallying's most demanding asphalt roads.

I posted this here as it may be useful for the Barum Rally which is also bumpy asphalt. The Skoda is the main opposition there and this year Toyota drivers should now benefit from this testing.
