The damages in the rear wing impacted more seriously to @SebOgier as no wing means faster air at the rear, thus more lift (less downforce), while for @ElfynEvans the lower plate still acted as a spoiler, thus generating some downforce #WRCLive #WRCliveES #WRCjp #SafariRallyKenya

The modular design of the Toyota GR Yaris #Rally1 rear bumper allows that only rear of the fender is lost in case of side impact (allowing air removal from the wheel space, good for grip), while the other cars would lose part/all bumper. A wise design #WRClive #WRCliveES #WRCjp

Modified rear wing in the @TGR_WRC GR Yaris #Rally1 of @KalleRovanpera seen during @RallyEstonia PET tests yesterday. Truncated endplates and 2 levels on the lower plate to facilitate airflow, thus reducing drag 📸 Sports and Speed - Janne Veetõusme #WRClive #WRCliveES #WRCjp

Flat top surface of the front fender in the Ford Puma Rally1 revealed today, in opposition to the inverted wing shape and side lip on the previous livery version. If confirmed, all three 2022 #Rally1 cars will show very similar front design #WRClive #WRCliveES #WRCjp #MSPORTERS

Grilles in the floor of the Toyota GR Yaris #Rally2 , possibly to reduce weight, could also help dissipate heat from inside the car, especially from the exhaust pipe, with its outlet in the center of the car. #WRClive #WRCliveES #WRCjp #CroatiaRally 📸Rallypixels @NikosKatikis

Broken rear wing for @AdrienFourmaux and lost wing/door for @thierryneuville at the end of @RallySweden SS18 due to a heavy compression after a jump, a consequence of the weight reduction process all teams develop for #Rally1 cars #WRClive #WRCliveES #WRCjp #RallySweden

Ice build-up on the left rear of the Toyota GR Yaris #Rally1 (some extra unbalanced weight), most likely due to the right side location of the exhaust pipe. The Puma may suffer the same but not seen in the Hyundai (exhaust pipe centered) #WRClive #WRCliveES #WRCjp #RallySweden

It's just the first official photo of @croatia_rally but you can already see some differences, especially in the height of the splitter's vertical strip: thinner for the Toyota, very high for the Puma... balance between drag, downforce & reliability #WRClive #WRCliveES #WRCjp

Blocking plates used for reducing airflow to radiators during road sections to prevent engine excessive cooling. Having to stop after SS15 start to remove them is what caused 1 min loss for @TakamotoKatsuta and @danielbarritt at @Rally_d_Italia #WRC
