Williams F1 test driver Susie Wolff was impressed: “The speed Kris carried through the fast stuff, how late he could brake and how much the car was jumping about - it was incredible," she said. "Driving an F1 car tends to be much smoother with very little movements. With this, there was so much happening inside the car. It was a real experience. Book me in for another ride, I'll be back!"

Audi Sport Team Joest engineer Leena Gade, who became the first female race engineer to win the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2011, was full of praise after her ride in Ogier's Polo R. "It was incredible and over way too quickly. An unbelievable experience. These guys are nuts!" she said. "The most impressive thing is the speed that he took through the corners and how smoothly the car handled jumps. I was expecting a big impact on landing but there was none - it was actually quite comfortable. The braking too was incredible. Compared to what I'm used to seeing in LMP this was something else. Awesome skills from Seb and fascinating to see how it's done."
