    Center differential mapping is quite a lot more than just few clicks. Also are You sure that what's inside dampers is all homologated?

    I`m not 100% sure about WRC but at least R5 than inside of dampers is completely free, basically only damper body is homolagated. And since the teams do so much suspension testing the shim setting must be free for WRC as well!

    You can modify all damper internals (I doubt Ostberg team did it), of course damper clicks, springs, ride height, anti-roll bars, track, wheel-base, balance, center diff mapping, setup of front and rear diffs. So basically you can make completely different car regarding the handling.

    Thanks, that's exactly why I asked. I know that some teams use their own dampers on R5 cars but I was not sure about WRC.

    Řstberg was saying that they werent getting the test findings on the best set-up from M-Sport. But if M-Sport arent running the car for him then why should they pass on their info ?

    Btw, Bertelli is testing with M-Sport so he should get the latest improvements...
