Development test of the Hyundai i20 N #Rally2 today in Asturias, Northern Spain, with Hayden Paddon at the wheel and a Pitot tube on the roof to get a good reference of speed both for test engineers & aero numerical simulation (CFD) 🎥 @rallycast #WRClive #WRCliveES #WRCjp

When a #Rally1 car flies, upper aero parts (rear wing, wing mirrors, splitter) keep working, pushing the car down due to downforce created, while undercar parts (flat floor, rake, wheel diffusers) stop working due to separation from floor #WRClive #WRCliveES #WRCjp #RallyFinland

Balance of a #Rally1 car in the air depends on acceleration/braking before jumping (due to the car's inertia), but it can also be partly adjusted by accelerating/braking in the air, due to the change in the wheels' speed rotation #WRClive #WRCliveES #WRCjp #RallyFinland

Great interview once again with Adrien FOURMAUX, including details about the preparation of the next event (EKO Acropolis Rally) both in the Ford's US simulator and on field, as well as on the development of the 2025 Ford Puma #Rally1 #WRClive #WRCliveES #WRCjp #MSPORTERS

Find out Mārtiņš Sesks' impressions on learning & managing the aero & hybrid during his step-by-step WRC debut at the wheel of the Ford Puma #Rally1 in the exclusive interview he has kindly granted us here: wp.me/paApfq-5Q2 #WRClive #WRCliveES #WRCjp #MSPORTERS

M-Sport tested today in some runs of the EKO Acropolis Rally PET a modified side air intake, less prominent to reduce drag (to achieve higher top speed) with a bigger area to ensure adequate hybrid cooling #WRClive #WRCliveES #WRCjp #MSPORTERS📹youtu.be/HjIECgU_yhg by sudrallye

With EKO Acropolis Rally PET completed today by all #Rally1 teams, only 2 test days remain available for Toyota, 3 for Hyundai & 5 for M-Sport (out of 21 outside the permanent site), to prepare for the remaining 3 events, if our calculations are correct #WRClive #WRCliveES #WRCjp

Great news! And a second chance to benchmark the non-hybrid Ford Puma #Rally1 against the hybrid armada on a fast event #WRClive #WRCliveES #WRCjp

Hyundai may be testing today new suspension configurations (different absorber angles?) in view of the 2025 car at its Finnish test site with Ott Tänak (top image) compared to the previous configuration (bottom image, Portugal) #WRClive #WRCliveES #WRCjp 📹Jari Pekanpalo

Toyota with Elfyn Evans & Scott Martin testing today the new Hankook Tire Motorsports Official tyres for 2025 in a traditional stage of RallyRACC #WRClive #WRCliveES #WRCjp

Updates to the car’s engine, new differential options and suspension parts, as well as small cosmetic changes coming soon for the Hyundai i20 N Rally2 #WRClive #WRCliveES #WRCjp  motorsport.hyundai.com/hyundai-motors…

The location of the camera on the rear wing of Serderidis' Ford Puma #Rally1 has no impact on its aero performance, as located on the outer side of the endplate, thus with minimal disturbance to the airflow feeding the side winglets #WRClive #WRCliveES #WRCjp #AcropolisRally

La carga aerodinámica ayuda también en las frenadas, siempre que la velocidad sea alta, Santi Torres, empujando el coche hacia abajo se consigue una frenada más efectiva, o sea, frenar más tarde #WRCliveES

The car of Thierry Neuville & Martijn Wydaeghe is the only Hyundai to use the low drag mirrors at the #AcropolisRally , whereas normally this option was used by the 3rd driver in previous events. In search of higher top speed, at the cost of less front grip #WRClive #WRCliveES #WRCjp

Big congrats Romet Jürgenson for the FIA Junior WRC title, a well deserved reward to your stunning passage through stages, ahead of a fierce competence #WRClive #WRCliveES #WRCjp #AcropolisRally

Another great aero article by Skoda, this time on the airflow inside the cabin, with applications both in real life and rallying, to deal with common issues such as high inside temperatures or foggy windshields Škoda Motorsport #WRClive #WRCliveEs #WRCjp skoda-storyboard.com/en/skoda-world…

Test today by Sami Pajari & Enni Mälkönen in the Toyota GR Yaris #Rally1 hybrid at the Finnish test area in preparation for Rally Chile without any rear fan to draw air from the rear hybrid cooling radiators, while normally one is used on the left side #WRClive #WRCliveES #WRCjp

First impressions of Emil Lindholm after driving the Hyundai i20 N #Rally1 car in this excellent article, including mention of the aero grip: "incredible, almost defying logic; the faster you go, the more stable the car becomes". Well worth reading!#WRClive #WRCliveES #WRCjp
