Software along with friction losses can amount to as much as 10 more hp.

If they go away from the traditional engine build philosophy you can free up many more HP, where as the usual brief is to have as much torque as possible for drivability. So if you go to add power there are many things within the parameters that you can change to achieve this.

Superb air shots of Tartu!

Add 0.5hp to the previous engine spec and you have a more powerful engine. Marketing is part of the business.

If piston includes conrod length, that can change power and torque through geometry IIRC.

I just read that the engine development 'freeze' was actually a freeze of the regulations, not of development of an engine itself within those regulations.

Tänak already with stuck gear …..

Besttime for Breen, that is a surprise

Stage win for Breen should keep his confidence high for a rally they have done well on.

I can't see anyone besides Kalle winning this rally. I'd put Tanak in the fight, but he drives the "amazing quality" car...

Looks like more of a drier weekend coming now. Some showers in the afternoon from friday-sunday Are possible

Shakedown
