The current front and rear differentials , have the ability to change positive preload and negative preload , normal by nitrogen gas inserted it a piston chamber , during service you can open a bung insert a needle connected to a gas bottle and adjust the pressure to change the setting
When it used to be mechanically adjusted by a thread system with temperature change it change preload , and in some cases if a low setting was chosen it would wind off in time , the gas system is more consistent , also adding adjustment of negative preload added another dimension of adjustment esp on the front diff to aid turn in
This was first used in the polo in 2014 and Citroen ds3 , msport first used in 2015 car

Thanks for the info. What will the change be then? No possibility to change preload without changing whole diff?

Wishful thinking from Matton IMO.
Even if another Manufacturer was interested enough to want to join the WRC (in 2024), I cant see them doing so as it'll be so hard to then be competitive against the established teams.

The Manufacturers are out there, they're interested in a motorsport programme; however, the WRC isn't the series they wish to enter. And, as I keep asking, why?? The answer isn't what we want to hear.
Is there a better sound than that of Porsche engined Flat-6 ???

3 manfacturers is fine. It is a great number. I see people wanting more brands and more cars but 3 brands and 8 or 9 cars is already a great number. I mean, its never good to have too many brands cuz they eventually leave because they cant win. Only one brand can win per year. And when one leaves, others may follow them for that same reason. The car count is low right now but its also fine. We probably dont have the 8 best rally drivers in the championship's top class right now but we can also follow them in wrc2, erc and national championships.
About the hybrid. I think its just great cuz we can have petrol cars in the stages and "electric" on the streets in between stages, following the european rules. Its great. I dont think we are ready for all electric cars on stages yet.. And I dont think R5s are the best we should have. So we have the best from both worlds!
WRC is doing fine. Its difficult to promote, but it has always been difficult to promote. This is where it could improve a little, maybe? It'd be cool to add a "green propaganda" thing too. (sorry!)
With the bio fuels and with the electric engine for the streets.
I remember being on Indycar foruns back in 2012-2014 where the fan base kept complaining about wantinig more and more manufacturers (they just had 3 in 2012, which was awesome) making it always looks that "Oh, so the championship is in a bad situation right now cuz theres no more manfacturers?" - but they had been the greatest seasons ever.
WRC 2022 will be great. Dont worry!Last edited by fiscorpun; 15th June 2021 at 16:42.
Almost all Finn's since Paavo Nurmi who are fast in their sport have been called "Flying", particularly the 1960's rally drivers, but I was actually thinking of "Flying Finnish" - the timing line at...
What's the first thing to come to...
