La prossima settimana "tocca" la Ford, invece Citroen "firmare contratto, vedere C3 WRC"

 

Senza la firma di un pre-contratto niente prova

Da che mi risulta citroen ha gia fatto firmare i contratti ai suoi piloti che aveva già contattato ristretto accordi, di terze auto non se ne parla al momento...dubito rescindano contratti firmati...secondo me Ogier finirà in casa Wilson, che poi è l'unico che ha auto da vendere (letteralmente) e risponde solo a se stesso del suo operato (non ha case automobilistiche dietro).

INTRODUCING THE 2017 FORD FIESTA WRC

Embarking on a new era in the FIA World Rally Championship (WRC), we introduce the Ecoboost-powered Ford Fiesta WRC – an innovation based on the new-for-2017 road-going Fiesta which will spearhead M-Sport’s challenge throughout next year’s eagerly anticipated season.

Designed to next-generation technical regulations implemented by the FIA, the Fiesta WRC ushers in the latest technology in world rally cars.

Despite being built to this new set of regulations, the class of 2017 evoke images which hark back to the Group B days of old and M-Sport’s latest creation retains a strong pedigree – sharing a platform with Europe’s number one best-selling small car.

Based on the recently-unveiled, all-new, road-going Ford Fiesta, the Fiesta WRC derives its performance and style from a car beloved on both the road and the stage.

Since its introduction into the sport, the Fiesta – in its various guises as R1, R2, R5, S2000 and WRC – has become rallying’s most successful model with countless victories and championship laurels around the globe.

This year alone, the Ford Fiesta R5 claimed an impressive 159 outright victories – that’s more than any other R5 – as well as countless class wins and a second successive FIA European Rally Championship.

Designed from a completely clean-sheet of paper, M-Sport’s latest challenger adds another string to the Fiesta’s impressive bow and the development team are confident of making a return to the top step of the podium.

Looking the part, a fully CFD designed aerodynamic bodyshell features a front and rear splitter, dive planes and impressive rear wing which gives the Fiesta WRC a striking visual design.

More spectacular and more powerful than its predecessor, the top-specification Fiesta has undergone a complete redesign and 95 percent of the car has been designed from scratch to deliver more power, and more mechanical grip.

Producing 380 bhp and 450 Nm of torque from its bespoke Ecoboost-powered 1600cc direct injection engine and 36 mm inlet restrictor, the sound has to be heard to be believed.

A newly-designed six-speed sequential gearbox with hydraulic shift runs alongside a multi-disc clutch and an active centre differential offers enhanced control and performance.

Evolving further, redesigned MacPherson struts with Reiger external reservoir dampers are fully adjustable in bump and rebound, while ventilated brake discs with unique four-piston monoblock calipers provide the stopping power.

Full chassis and engine data acquisition allows our engineers to conduct on-event diagnostics and performance development, while twin-dash screens for both driver and co-driver keep our crews on track.

Improved safety has also formed a key part of the Fiesta WRC’s development. A T45 steel rollcage is welded to the chassis with structural door sill reinforcements.

The presence of enhanced energy absorbing foam has also been significantly increased from 60 litres to a minimum of 95 litres. The crew’s Sparco seats are cocooned by this foam and energy management figures have increased by as much as 20 percent.

Needless to say, a new and exciting era is almost upon us. Having racked up 6,392 kilometres of testing with more to follow next week, the Fiesta WRC is ready to tackle some of the most arduous and demanding stages that the FIA World Rally Championship has to offer.

M-Sport Managing Director, Malcolm Wilson OBE, said:

“Entering a new era in the FIA World Rally Championship, there is a real sense of excitement throughout the team, and rightly so as I believe we have created something extremely special in the new Ford Fiesta WRC.

“Having driven the car myself, I can honestly say that it is one of the most impressive we have ever produced. It’s exciting to drive, it sounds fantastic and it looks absolutely sensational.

“Every team is starting on an equal footing and I’m confident that we have produced another car which is capable of challenging – and winning – at the very highest level.

“More than 95 percent has been designed from scratch and our team has had whatever they’ve wanted to build the best possible car. No expense has been spared, and we start the 2017 season with one goal in mind – returning to the top step of the podium.”

M-Sport Head of Engineering, Chris Williams, said:

“A tremendous amount of effort, passion and enthusiasm has gone into this project and there has been a real commitment from our entire team.

“Designing a brand new car from a completely clean sheet of paper has allowed our team to re-evaluate every single component to produce the lightest and most innovative car possible.

“We’ve pushed the physical boundaries in all areas and have some very interesting things going on underneath the surface that we are sure are unique to this car and have already improved performance significantly in testing.

“It’s not been an easy ride, but everyone realised how much potential this car has early on and that has given us the energy to keep on pushing flat out.”

Solo il trovo che queste nuove macchine abbiamo un fascino perverso?
Le trovo bellissime!

Io preferivo quelle di prima, ma c'è margine per migliorare. La Yaris pare da gruppo B al posteriore! Anche quelle non erano proprio belle!

Invece io trovo che sia proprio l'aspetto selvaggio a renderle bellissime!

Effettivamente la Fiesta WRC precedente (l'anterest. per me era tra le più belle) la trovavo senza dubbio più "armonica", IMHO pure nel modo in cui venivano raccordati gli "sparafangamenti"... In queste 2017 il tutto mi sa un po' di posticcio. Comunque queste nuove vetture hanno un indubbio fascino, speriamo sappiano regalare anche uno spettacolo degno. Curioso di vedere come saranno a livello estetico le eventuali varianti da terra... dubito che quei profili possano essere usati sullo sterrato, a meno che non vogliano anche dissodare i terreni  

Per ora, vedendo qualche video di test su asfalto (da prendere rigorosamente con le molle) mi ha stupito come queste vetture siano piatte, quasi dei modelli da gare in salita. E' pur vero che già la Polo era molto "piatta", però le auto da rally per me dovrebbero "muoversi" un po' di più

per me ci si può fermare alla seconda; ai tempi della Subaru le WRC erano allargabili per regolamento fino a un massimo di 1780 mm, quelle più moderne sono arrivate prima a 1820 e dal prossimo anno 1875...un metro e ottantasette...questo per me è l'unico difetto di questa generazione, nonostante renda l'estetica più accattivante. IMHO il Group B appeal sarebbe dovuto essere applicato per il discorso omologazioni, nel senso: si scriva una regola che dice che le auto devono essere derivate dalla serie, ma un numero minimo di 200 esemplari con tutte le modifiche da rally (il sistema di trazione integrale e un allargamento fino a 1800 mm per cominciare) deve avere l'autorizzazione a circolare su strada...va be' sogno e divago...
