[ERC] 2007 Rally Vinho Madeira

You combine two different things... Noone says Travaglia is bad and not spectacular driver

But, You should not say: "I think that doesn't bring any advantage to Travaglia in the stages." That may be true but also it may not. It is simply impossible to judge according to what they wrote in official news. But probably it realy did give him advantage. Of course it doesn't mean it gave him such more power that could be seen by spectator's sight. It could bring him just a better torque curve without boosting peak power very much but at almost 300 kilometers even a very little difference is enough to give You reasonable advantage.

It may have brought him advantage but it also needn't. It may have been done on purpose but it also needn't. Travaglia may have known about that but he also needn't. All we can write here is nothing more than speculation...

The fact is that if there is any non-homologated part, modiffication etc. than some punnishment is nercessary. And modiffied regulation of turbocharger is not such irrelevant thing like non-homologated door reinforcement...

Were there any other disqualifications after the finish? I see that there are only two Lancers in the final results...

After his disqualification on Madeira Renato Travaglia was very angry and decided to part ways with Top Run Team. At this moment the Italian ace doesn't know what car he will drive in the remaining rallies.

The ralismadeira ones are just spectacular! Great effort made by them in all fronts this year: information, fotos, videos! Congratulations for the work they have been doing for the past years (and this rally in particular) promoting rallying in Madeira! My thx to them!

]I think it's a peculiar situation, the turbocharger from Travaglia's EVO.

Ok, it could be illegal, but, I think that doesn't bring any advantage to Travaglia in the stages...ok, you can call me innocent

I will try to explain.

I followed all the rally since the shakedown to the last stage, and everybody have to admit that Travaglia was pushing harder than other conventional N4. And there is no doubt that he was the best driver in a conventional N4.
If Travaglia's car hasn't the regulator, I suppose he would be much faster than he was... I think it was some irregularity in turbo, but nothing that give too much power to the car.

Doing Sideways, is the style of most Italian rally drivers

There is a big difference when you have more turbo boost. It means you can really push the car - sometimes too sideways - and know that it has plenty of power to maintain momentum.

Typically, the problem with a GpN car is that the limited turbo pressure needs the car to be driven very precisely - not too much sideways if possible, because this robs the car of forward momentum.

If Travaglia has left Top Run then it shows what he thinks of them. A driver relies on his team, and Top Run have betrayed him.

as I remember, last season Team Tango from Argentina already had problems with TopRun, ending ir disqualification of Team Tango from PWRC
