CAR SET-UP

Fiesta wrc technician

"With all the high speed jumps in Finland,
it’s important to have a precise car which
works at high speed and is quite low –
similar to the first pass in Poland.
"The effect of the new aero will be
interesting so our pre-event test will be
important.
"There are also a few stages which are
first and second pass in the same loop so
the crews need to be able to make some
suspension adjustments."
