What do You mean? That this one is boring as hell? I told You so after Barum...
Yes , is quite boring to watch, and it does not look fast, but i hope it is....Quote:

You know when it's most disappointing? When You are deep in the forest waiting for the cars to come. You can hear the screaming S2000 long time before You see them (also PSA R5) but with the Fiesta and Fabia R5 You first see them coming than hear them...
Just like a gpN?
Half of the gr.N cars is louder...
Any ideas what Peugeot have done differently to make their car loud?
I'm sure Skoda and Ford would make their cars sound better too if there was no sacrifice in performance.
I hear very often a clutch dump out of corners because the r5 does not have enough power to spin wheels on a dry corner/hairpin. For 200.000 euro you expect a little more!
Put in a bigger restrictor and a 6 speed gearbox for more action. And indeed the sound is very boring also.
I'm afraid bigger restrictor would most likely lead to serious reliability problems.Quote:

I'm not an engineer, I would appreciate if someone can explain me the technical reason to make a rally car sound good (208t16 &ds3 r5) vs fiesta & fabia weak loudness
