Yes! they could have given them more boost.

More boost and no antilag. That would separate the men from the boys

Nice!!! That would be cost cutting right? Anti-lag just adds wear to the turbo correct?

Err... Do you have any idea how terrible it is to drive a turbo car which has no antilag?

Yes, it's difficult, but IMHO it's also pain in the ass for the drivers. No enjoyment from the driving, just pumping the throttle and brakes like Matthew. Not good for anyone.

Yes, it's hard for turbo, also doubles fuel consumption but still it makes the car reasonably faster.

For me it's ok with lower boost. For spectators more boost brings nothing positive. I would prefer larger restrictor (even instead of direct injection). That's the simpliest solution which costs nothing.

[OldF]

Lower boost means higher revs compared with higher boost which mean nicer sound with the same restrictor size.

[TyPat107]

Lower boost could also mean higher compression ratio which sounds more crisp.

[Loose_Unit]

sounds good. very good. i like the extra revs, just gives it a bit more intensity than the old wrc's, so i think these things will sounds great through the forest.

[TKM]

Looks faster than the Ford or Mini, but I guess what do you expect when they've probably double the budget of the other 2 teams put together. I was really hoping that Ford would be able to take it to Citroen next year, but if this is anything to go by ..... :-(

Money buys time, hopefully Ford can still be up there.

Remember that it is not Ford. It is M Sport which is a private team at the end of the day. They will have a tighter budget than Manufacturer Citroen.

That's a lame excuse! Just remember the M-Sport and Ford working together on the manufacturer team.
