Sorry to revive such an old and dust-covered thread but I do not want to start new one just for this little but interesting thing...

Tomasz Czopik in an advertisement on rallycarsforsale.net...

Thanks, interesting!

By the way I was told some time a go by a guy from JM Racing that working on Fabia S2000 was much easier for mechanics than with Fiesta S2000. He said that everything was done more in a way to be...

Very nice interview. Sums it up nicely. Thanks!

That doesn't change anything on my thinking. It's not possible to base any conclusion from two or three corners. Or to say it better - You can make a conclusion but it is very likely wrong.

On a rally like Corsica I can imagine they can drive very different way to achieve similar times. It's a lot about the efficiency of using brakes and tyres not in one or two corners we can see but in...

According to Czech magazine "Rally" the latest evolution of Fiesta RRC has new cylinder head and engine mapping resulting in a growth of power which is now around 275 Hp. They wrote the car also had...

In the past Pirelli were always better in these conditions on Italian asphalt. Even if it was just dump and they run on soft slicks. They always started to loose with growing temperature of asphalt.

Grazie! Still a "Pirelli" weather :)

Very twisty roads. Most oft he time they are on 3rd-4th gear. A lot of hairpins as well. But what plays the major role now is that it's raining. Basso is on Pirelli plus the 1.6T has better traction....

Yes, the engine is same but with small restrictor it has not enough air to be effective in high rpm.

In WRC I believe they shift around 8000-8500 rpm. In 1.6T S2000 30mm restrictor they shift...

In my opinion that will sure happen. I guess 1.2T.

It's not an issue of gearbox. What we spoke about is caused by the nature of restricted turbo engine. The rules say that the rpm limit is 8500. But that is useful only for variant with 33 mm...

Yes, I saw a power and torque chart of an S2000 car. But it was quite a long time a go so not very recent. This is just an estimation but I think it must be quite close to reality ;)

Doesn't mater if 202 or 206 :) But I can hardly see a stage where a car with 30 mm restrictor could get to 8500 rpm on 6th gear when peak power is around 6000-6500. With 30 mm restrictor it must be...

Basically You don't need to know torque chart if You know power chart. It's all in with the benefit that power unlike torque doesn't change through gear ratios (not counting mechanical looses for ...

That must take ages to reach 200+ km/h. I watched onboard of Pech from one superfast stage of Valašská rally. On a place where Kopecký was for a long time in rpm limiter with Fabia (181 km/h) Pech...

No doubts about that. S2000 2.0NA are faster cars. S2000 1.6T lacks average 20-40 Hp and better torque chart can't change that handicap into benefit. Suspension is basically same. Difference on...
