It is a massive difference,and no way drivers couldn't understand/feel that their cars suddenly had a huge power increase.
ie...
32mm restrictor evo = 300 bhp
33mm restrictor evo = 320 bhp
36mm restrictor evo = 360 bhp
FIA technical man in the studio say they increased the restrictor with 25%, theoretically increasing the engine power with 40BHP.
As I say, this what they say in the video, I haven't got the technical knowledge to agree/disagree :)
Except Toyota engineers at that time nobody knows exact values, but for sure it was a lot of advantage. And very nice trick.
10 months until we see Kalle's WRC debut? http://www.autosport.com/news/report...enough-for-wrc
I look forward to seeing him on his WRC debut at Rally GB! I believe that'll be a couple of weeks after he turns 17, so he can drive here then.Quote:

Thank you :)
Estonia has no limitation as well.Quote:

this clip looks a like action movie in the beginning https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWfoyx5T3Es
So maybe it's time for a little poll. How many offs this season will have:
a)Latvala
a)Meeke
c)Neuville
c)Tanak
e)others??
A lotQuote:

Less than we expect. I think Tanak will be one of the surprises this year.
A Michelin guide to edit rally videos.
1) Put random piece of videos with some random slow motion and some B/W from time to time and a calm music.
2) Close up to tyres and other slow motions
3) Break of 1 second with silence
4) Music louder with car leaving the start point
5) Close up to tires and slow motions while car is in the stage
6) Alternate with jumps and landings with close up to tires and slow motions
7) The end
They use to be really good... then all of a sudden.... bam. Quiet bad!!!!
Fixed 4) for youQuote:

lol that's right. thanks mate :DQuote:

d) a lot, not easy to have ogier as a team mate.
e) not hard to predict that Bertelli, Prokop, Al Qassimi and others second level drivers will be off most of the time. '17 cars are wild beasts and should be for top drivers hands only!
I expect more issues for Ogier considering that M-Sport cars have not been known for their tank-like reliability as VW was.
Thats a fair point, as well as the general mechanical reliability of the VW we've seen Ogier get away with quite a few moments in the last couple of seasons that might have stopped some of the other cars - big cuts or running wide and clipping rocks, ditches etc without taking serious damage. I don't think he will be able to take as many of those chances with the new Fiesta.Quote:

What's the reason for that?

Well... The Belgian federation wanted to get rid of the WRC cars, in favor of the R5/S2000 cars and the national importers who wanted to use rallying as a marketing tool (see Peugeot Belux, Citroën Belux and Skoda Belgium). We've had many years with WRC cars allowed, but in many years we had only one or two top drivers with top machinery. There wasn't enough competition in the championship as there weren't much drivers with similar machinery. On the other hand spectators like WRC cars, and many organizers of national events protested against it, as they feared losing spectators (so losing income). In the end the federation made up some crazy rules to somehow keep the competition for the championship between R5 cars, and still allow the WRC cars:Quote:

And as Van Woensel won an event last year, he can't drive his car in the national championship anymore.
They should have banned all WRCs from the championship a few years ago. Now they picked some half (typical Belgian) "solution", only creating more problems
I would like to propose a toast to Mintexmemory for creating the "Crystal Ball Time for 2017" thread, great entertainment value.
Best prediction so far is number 5 prediction from Sollitt
Missing Jan Vanvurpa and NOT doing their crystal ball Time for 2017. And want a proper Pickems to be started ASAP.
Evgeny Novikov, what's he up to nowadays?
Is he doing rallies? Is he selling cars? Is he alive?
Russian rally masters - quattro fire - Novikov 2016 - the Lada cars look very retro in the tarmac spec.

Not rallying, but somehow related to it. Hyundai released a "Thierry Neuville edition" for the Hyundai i20. http://www.autofans.be/nieuws/autosa...k-brussel-2017 I don't think it's beautiful, but it's encouraging to see. Some 10-15 years ago we had a Ford Focus "Duval" edition as well. :)
Tänak's last year car has arrived to estonia, Georg Gross and Raigo Mõlder will ride with it and Tänak's team OTracing will run it

and a loeb edition C4Quote:

it's OT but it's bar talk: in croatia we had only clio with janica kostelić sign. probably with big seat :D
And a Paddon edition Sante Fe in New Zealand... Looks quite good if you want a diesel SUV with big wheels and Brembo brakes.
Betting for the WDC 2017
Kris Meeke
7/4
Sebastien Ogier
2/1
Thierry Neuville
9/2
Hayden Paddon
8/1
Ott Tanak
12/1
Dani Sordo
16/1
Jari-Matti Latvala
16/1
Craig Breen
33/1
Elfyn Evans
50/1
Stephane Lefebvre
50/1
Juho Hanninen
80/1
Not much value with those odds.
The bookies seem very addicted to Meeke.
That's where the money is going.Quote:
