Förstår du vad jag menar?
They could have used a 2 litre engine with no limitation on turbo. Which made the car having 400+ hp without any difficulties."Reis vas pät pat kaar vas kut"

And even an old dino like me has used this CAD/CAM and FEA capability when designing some suspension junk for em and my friend Kevin "the Chin" Hawkinson (Kevin's family comes from därborta so I explained what his name should be: Håkansson and if he says it HAWKINson it sounds like ''Hakan'' and he does have a prominent chin so maybe ''Hakanson'' is better. But that's not important----we watch a LOT of F+cup härborta i rally världens mesta u-land so everybody who gets really sideways is blessed eller döpt´---with an honorary Finnish smeknamn and Kevin's is ''Kevvi Hoikansainalainenen''. aren't you glad you asked? )
In any case it is torque eller vrid that stresses gears and bearings and diffs etc.
2,0 34mm restrictor motors made plenty of torque....John Vanlandingham

All 3 manufacturers are pushing for things to remain until the end of the 26. Not even the goons running the WRC will be stupid enough to push them out by forcing new regs for 25
