I can`t remember which rally it was but at least Latvala used cross setting as he complained about the behavior when they hadn`t used it i testing and the car felt nervous on the rally, also based on...

According to Mäkinen interview the aerodynamic changes aren`t dramatic but mostly for easier service (for instance current front bumper is a 1 piece damper and when the splitter brakes they have to...

Agreed

Ford seems to be overall the easiest package with good reliability and no direct weaknesses in handling though it doesn`t shine either in any certain area it seems (or maybe slow technical...

I don`t think they use Mg wheels however as there`s a minimum weight on the wheels, 8,6 kg (if it`s still the same s it used to be).

Are you sure? I don`t know the rules for the current WRC 17 spec cars exactly but at least for the previous generations both titanium and magnesium was prohibited, would be strange to allow it now...

Yes and if I remember correctly this was the reason also PSRX tested it, I can be wrong though..

Also it`s not that big a jump between customer racing shocks and works...

I think it`s a bit unfair to blame Öhlins, they have only become involved since after rally Sweden as consults, the dampers were/are Citroen in house design but now apparently they need help.
Also...

Quit interesting that Hyundai has opted for next to driveshaft mounting on R5 but WRC 17 still has on top of driveshafts mounting (at least based on the pictures I`ve seen)
I think Hyundai now are...

Hyundai R5 also has similar front strut body angle

What are the black tunnels on the Citroen leaving out from the rear boot to the bottom? Seems a bit extensive if it`s just cabin pressure removal, and if it was that than why lead them to the bottom?
