    homologation isn't locked, not forever anyway.

    Hi Berglund, and welcome! Are you the Mirage driver Berglund, or related, and directly involved in the project?

    So are you are saying is, that now the project has come to a stage where FIA and Ralliart/Mitsubishi are technically happy, and the car could get its homologation?

    like for example single brake master cylinder for both front and rear, so bias is not adjustable. of course it works OK after so many kms of testing Skoda done, but you need time to get used to the feeling it gives. also gears are pretty long so, even with big torque of that engine, it forces you to use always right gear, especially on twiesty sections, same with long ratios - downshifting in low gears needs attention as easy to lock wheels because of big ratio differences.
    of course all those things are not bad, but you need time to adapt to it, and for weaker drivers it's not always that easy. also not easily adjustable ARBs makes almost impossible changing their settings without service, so sometimes some "compromise" needed.
