Yes, but if you put same setup than usually, it's not working same way... Click's are in same position but setup is totally different... Maybe that's why he must do some adjustment... Don't know, just quess...

You really think that 15kg can make difference at Novikovs last year speed?
Of course every car doesn t weight same as the other cars.Same for every manufacture.

Can you explain me why he couldn t adjust his suspension between stages?


So what happens guys? Suddenly Mads have a ''good'' ecu program? :D

Dont forget his good road position in sweden last year.

The shimming or valving might have changed yes, but the basic principle what happens when adjusting with the clicks is always the same, regardless of shim setting or valving.
I can`t think of any reason why he couldn`t chnge cliscks between stages other than no knowledge in what to do?
At least it`s certain that they haven`t removed the click units only from his car! Beacuse it would have needed classification.

Just looked the final day from Motors TV. Two persons discussion works really well! It gives the sole to the footages.
And finally I realized that we had 6 different drivers on podium in two events. it took 5 events to happen in last year.

Plus Julian and Colin are great talkers! I like this duo more then Becs and Colin. That's why I could listen a whole day to IRC rally radio, but not so much with WRC rally radio.

I believe the original poster was actually meaning to say more precisely by adjustment: ride height. I had a comment on the blog last year explaining that the works drivers can change the ride height of their cars with a tool, rather easily, between stages. While others can only do it at service because different system.
