[WRC] News & Rumours 2020

[dimviii]

at these countries there are some stages with such average(190km/h)

[AnttiL]

AFAIK current WRC cars have a top speed of 190 km/h in rally spec so they couldn’t make such avg speed even on a drag race track

[liposh]

Yes, but max. speed of Mitsu evo X is 220kph or maybe even more, so average of 190 kph is possible.

[Oops!]

The retirement list doesn't make for good reading when it comes the the R5 cars compared to the finishers list!

I managed to find a some sort of map from Transchaco 2017. The red lines are special stages. For example at the Northmost point of the route, there's SS15 which is 25 km of just straight road. SS7 is 43 km with one 500m twisty passage, three 90° turns and otherwise just straight road.

I don't find this rally interesting in WRC context.

Here's an onboard from what I recognize as SS11. The beginning and end are like highway, and in between there's offroading.

Its crazy how fast they're going on that narrow road after the "highway". Was thinking if a bump came, it would be an instant cartwheel...and it came but they somehow survived it. https://youtu.be/UPcxLY6zQOA?t=191

Yeah, I had to watch that like 10 times but I still don't understand what happens or how they manage to keep going
