I thought it was something like that - angled backwards from a fixed point at the bottom (or from the crank maybe)? A rule that obviously gave the transverse platform a big advantage over the longitudinal boxer layout, letting them not only move the engine mass much further back but also much lower (where the boxer probably had an advantage in production format).
I guess we'll never know how competitive they could have been if all cars had to keep the production engine position.

I think this video explains why they were saying the cars were so complicated. Also explains where their attention was at the time.

So back to topic then. So guys, who do you think wins RMx? To me Neuville is hot candidate.

It's very difficult.
Neuville and Meeke will have huge advantage the first day but this is one of Ogier's favourite and he is not opening the road this time. Anyway it's going to be tough even in second position with those two guys behind.
Also Paddon is in a good position if I'm not mistaken.
I think there is no hope for Latvala, I'm quite sure he will go off as happens everytime he is very happy and "confident" before starting. (I hope not of course).
I'm very curious to see what Tanak will do. If he manages to have another mature drive and grab a podium again it would be a strong confirmation about his late improvements.

I think the Toyota will turn out to be very fast but none of the drivers will be consistent enough to win. I'm most worried that with the speed and grip losing a bit of areo makes cars so unstable they're effectively out of contention and retire for the day to get fixed.

I'm very curious what Nandan will tell Neuville, "Just go and drive", or "I wan't you to finish this rally".
If the second case, I don't expect Neuville to win.

like i said on the first pages, this rally is Neuville's to lose (like the two first rallies) or Meeke's if they get their issues sorted ..the fight for second and third will be great between, Latvala, Ogier, Tänak, Meeke, Paddon...this is my gut feeling.
but i hope Tänak's trend continues to climb up the in the results and this time it is time for number one#8 Ott Tänak - Martin Järveoja #8
