Megane Gr N4

[cut full]

Any 2012 upgrades to the Megane ?

german driver mohe sayd after last round of drm: "For the first time this season we used a completely different shock absorber system in our megane. The gamble paid off: we were able to narrow the gap on the competition by at least one second per kilometer WP."

I don't know if it's by the nature of French roads or just by hands of driver or by better quality of works car but Manu Guigou in French championship seems to be by far faster in Mégane than anyone else...

it´s reallye a strange car. it sounds even worse then a evo. it rev´s so low, i always think it´s not running right. unfortunately one of the most boring cars renault has ever built for rallyeing, together with the r5 turbo fwd.

What type shocks were in 2011, and what type does Mohe use now ?

And yes, turbo cars in general sound boring imo !

I dont know any deatils about the change in shocks, what I wrote is only pressrelease of mohe.

Not good rally from Ivan Ferrarotti in 1000 Miglia
Why did he retire

It says on Mohes homepage that the car has Öhlin shocks. Is this the original for the Megane, or have new shocks been classed?

[Mirek]

Considering Renault Sport usually uses Öhlins I think they had them on Mégane since the beginning. But of course they can now use different model than previously.

Now that I've seen this new Megane on the stages of ERC Mille Miglia Rally, I can only confirm that. It really is a strange car. Very quiet, but also in some way quite interesting, because it deosn't look that bad. But if you look for a crazy and aggresive rally car, go look somewhere else

Yes it is the same with all Gr N cars, they need an exhaust system with sound. It is also a security risk, since you domt hear them when walking back through a ss. You only know it is there when you see them, and that is sometimes a bit late....
