They homologated two modification related to the engine at the beginning of December and nothing else since then. I don't expect anything else until 1st April.

Neubauer won his title and went abroad. The only WRC driver left is Grössing I think.

So drivers can use the paddles in non FIA events, but not in FIA events.
So they will have to be removed for FIA events?
Is the stickshift fully functional i paralell with paddles on all R5 cars?
Or are some gearboxes fully dual-functional and some not?
On the WRCars some stickshifts can not be used directly if the paddles start to cheat, or not work at all.
Or is the case that this only occur when the fault is in the gearbox itself, and not in the transfer machanism?
Anyway FIA does not make it easy for the drivers. In some rallies they can use paddles and in some not. Not always easy to understand the logic behind some policy decisions ...Last edited by Sulland; 24th March 2018 at 09:52.
