    My guess is there may be just one or two itty-bitty differences between a rental Fiesta and a WRC Fiesta.....

    More of Kubica's testing. Here's hoping these clips are signs of good things to come in 2015. :fingerscrossed:

    Man Robert sure likes to cut those corners. :arf: Hope his pace notes don't miss any roadside rocks.

    That road looks slicker that goose shirt. What's up with that most interesting steering wheel design?

    It helps him order when he goes to the Sonic drive-through!

    I'm guessing it helps with the creation of pace notes. Put tape on the wheel in the recce car and one bit of tape directly ahead on the console as a reference and then call out the number (and + or -, etc) to indicate the severity of each turn.

    Thinking about it, that doesn't make sense, does it? Unless the recce car has exactly the same steering ratio as the rally car.....seems unlikely.

    This one supposedly shows a local getting an assist from one of the recce crews.
