The sound on the new cars is more aggresive and more exciting to say the least. Was on SS9 Knon, the stage that got cancelled for the second run because of high speeds. In the distance you could hear the cars going flatout roaring on the straights.
Visually they are quite wide and looks a bit big. They seem to have good handling though. Several drivers have mentioned the aerodynamics and how a big part it is of the cars. Breen's front got some small damage on the front of a stage, not much, and he could feel it in the handling. Östberg even had to retire when he lost the rear wing ...
Latvala had two amazing runs in Likenäs before the last stage now, winning both times and adding 17 secs to his lead to a total of 20. The Yaris seems to be a very competitive car, at least here in Sweden and in Monaco.
