@ 300 km/h the Evo drag force is roughly 3 kN which means that the power, needed to overcome it, is approximately 250 kW, i.e. 340 Hp. You need to add rolling resistance and mechanical efficiency (losses in transmission, power used for alternator atd.) to get the needed engine power but it's for sure possible with up-tuned Evo ;)Quote:

David Evans on Rally Croatia's future.
Some interesting thoughts about spectators, changes needed for eventual future event and so on.
Good question at the end of the article; is there a place for Croatia on the calendar? Rotating system really seems like a possibility with Australia, NZ, Mexico, Argentina, Chile, GB and Germany missing this season. Much better option than what we had in recent years with almost no new venues and with the same and often boring ones.
Often boring ?Quote:

Not boring per se but boring in excitement and predictability. Most of the tarmac events were more or less predictable. These are also the words from Evans and Clark on one of the podcasts after rally Croatia.Quote:

Don't take Colin Clark too seriously. David Evans yes he knows more what he's talking about.Quote:

I can make my own oppinion on the matter, thanks. I know who they are and we have the same oppinion on those tarmac rallies, that's why I mentioned them, their oppinion is more relevant than mine, obviously.Quote:

There are only two problems: Price and that it wears discs like crazy. I dare say that you change discs more often than pads.
