No, that's not true. They made every changes which they saw as a step forward for having better stage times. Whatever they found to be an advantage (and allowed) they used. There were huge steps towards better handing such as placing the engine in-front of the rear axle as well. Audi insisting for long time on having the longitudinal I5 engine in-front of the front axle was a result of marketing decision going against the technical arguments. The tyre and suspension development was not sleeping either.
That comes from the limits of the rules. When You limit the areas for the development all focus concentrates on them. That's normal.
The racing used to be all about the current technology until the breaking point being possibly the late gr.B crisis. You can't mix the level of technology with stuff being used in stock automotive production. That is two different things.
That is true but it wasn't always like that.Last edited by Mirek; 11th March 2020 at 10:20.

No Hybrid no EV. Racing and Rallying is there for excitement. Enjoyment for the spectators. EV or Hybrid does not belong in Racing and Rallying! EV sales are already very bad. Lots of People...
