I read earlier in the week he had 70% of his budget for the year. And also that Gigi is nearly there for a C4 with Pirelli/Citroen Italia. So if these guys can pull the last few bits together, and this Atko/Monster deal comes off next year is looking pretty sweet all of a sudden.Quote:

The film begins with a year of rallying and the World Touring Car Championship.
The performance of the engine will be 280 to 290 hp, reduced CO2 emissions by around 30 percent," revealed FIA technique Chief Jacques Berger performances of the direct injection.
Because the environment is becoming increasingly important, manufacturers and produce smaller, low-emission engines, the motor must follow the trend.
In November, involved in the development of the new regulations allowed the parties to materials and final details were set by the engine, this was also discussed about the different demands on the performance characteristics between the rally and race engine. This will be achieved mainly through different camshafts. Fix is in both series, the diameter of Airrestriktors of 33 mm. Boost pressure is limited to 2.5 bar. A novel FIA control box is designed to give officials soon to assess whether this limit has been exceeded.
More details on the new "World Engine" is to give it shortly."
By these figures, and knowing that 1.6T production engines have 150 to 170hp, what kind of tuning is expected for S2000/1.6T engines: Gr.N, Gr.A or actual WRC modifications?
Is that the National Governing body(ASN)? Same as our MSA?Quote:

33mm Thats smaller than the current one isnt it? And the same as the group n cars?
Yes, same as gr.N car since 1.1.2010 and 1 mm bigger than current gr.N cars.
I think that the article is not right in estimated power. In my opinion the 1.6T engines will have a little bit more power, somewhere around 300 Hp but of course it depends on many aspects not just those which were revealed public.
True Mirek, just attended a 3 day test in South Spain with 'new rules' group N car with 33mm and both drivers where really happy with the power !!Quote:

So I agree with you, the 1.6T has more freedom in parts as group N and it will be strong engine.
