Chris.
the dsg comes without paddles as well.
DSG works completely different than WRC gearbox. A DSG-like gearbox was used in Audi Quattro S1 in some 1986 events and in circuit Porsche 956 of the same era. It's quarter of century a go when it was a hi-tech stuff...

Mmm very last minute.com! I wouldn't be surprised if RK is in a 4th Polo. There would appear to be some hard-ball conntract negotiation to be resolved by tomorrow!

Yeah, he has had problems with it on RAC, probably AUDI didn't use it '86 for that reason.

But seems like you enjoy creating scenarios and imaginary theories in your head...
