Mirek, one more big supporter of this concept here. You raised very valid points, only one that is touch open to dispute is “It would be relatively easy to implement (I think)” – the engine manufacturers/tuners got slightly bad taste of this system due to the struggles of some of the F1 engine manufacturers, though if you don’t try to squeeze every last ounce of performance out of the system, things should be a lot more manageable. I also suspect drivers would love it.

The peak power would be same, yes, but You would still loose a lot of time with slow response to the throtle and a certain time needed to get on the nominal power curve. The appearance of the R5 would look closer to the S2000 cars (or old gr.A/B cars) with a massive lack of torque immediately after pushing the throttle.

I guess this would be more of a problem on stages where drivers need to lift off the throttle more than it would on a stage with only tight junctions and long straights?

Yes, exactly. Massive problem for events like Corsica, smaller problem for Ypres for example. Same on gravel. Huge problem in Argentina (high altitudes would make it even worse), smaller problem in Poland or Finland.

Yes it is. Three events this year and already two accidents. No way that everything is ok with Kalle. He was too tired of rallying at the enf of the last year and still was forced to continue part...
