I remember that video, it had lot of lot of lot of antilag there :D Nice ad for a Rally car I guess :)

Thanks Hartusvuori and everyone else.

I believe they had all the time the same settings for the VW Fabia to get comparable inputs for the development of the WV Polo WRC car.

You can't homologate the S2000 only on paper.

Does it mean that for homologation purposes, a manufacturer needs to prepare a set of parts for ten complete S2000 cars, and (if they want to) ten WRC kits on top of that?
