1. #102 flag Boyle Declan - Boyle Brian icon Subaru Impreza S12B WRC '07 (JT07 SRT) 1:58:47.5 109.0
1. #2 flag Lappi Esapekka - Ferm Janne icon Škoda Fabia S2000 (11R 0245) 2:06:15.5 109.6
230.62 total distance for both events,so i see wrcars are faster.the average speed for erc winner is 109.6 and for national winner 109.why?
Go back few pages. It's explained there. One stage was canceled for national field hence the difference. WRC drivers were not faster, they just run one stage less.
I repeat, what Ricardo75 claim can not be right. Or so, we must rewrite some laws of physics, or how important weight is in motorsport.
If I remember right would weight limit for an M3 be 960 kg.
Weight limit for a R11 was 880 kg. 1419 * 1.4 (turbo) = The limit for cars until 2000ccm.
Renault managed to build a car that was only 6 kg over the weight limit, while BMW made cars that were more than 240 kg too heavy compared to the M3's weight limit. No way.
In that case I have to change how skilled I believe Jean Ragnotti was as a driver (not so good) and how good Bernard Beguin was (best on asphalt ever).
I did not mean to be naughty Ricardo, but I think you are mixing together weight limits from different years.
If we take the limit for cars intill 2000ccm it was (if I remember right) 880kg until 1988. Then the 920kg. Since 1992, I believe it was 960kg, for later rise to 1000kg. We are now talking about group A. The current Gr R has other weight limits.
A8 cars under 90s I think had to weigh 1230kg.
Great black livery of the Porsche:
