The Masters are just on the different level! It does not matter if active diff or not...Quote:

The reliability is not looking good indeed! Friday and Saturday without the service could be a nightmare for the Rally1 cars. :(
The Masters can tell what they want on the interviews -- "Ou, I just like to have fun bla bla , bla". But in reality, They just want to beat a crap out another and you can see it on a shakedown already !
Quick question... is it allowed to replace hybrid unit or any parts within the unit during the rally? Thank you.

penalty will be limited as follows:
- Each Manufacturer Team - 9 hybrid units per season
17.8.2 For all other Rally1 cars, one hybrid unit and one spare hybrid
unit may be used in each rally.
17.8.3 For all Rally1 cars, only one hybrid unit and one spare hybrid
unit may be used in each rally.
17.8.4 The spare components and those fitted to the car will be
marked/sealed at initial scrutineering.
17.8.5 Should the maximum number of hybrid units as defined in
17.8.1 be exceeded, a time penalty of 5 minutes will be
imposed when each additional hybrid unit is first registered at
pre-event scrutineering.
I understand the unit itself is sealed but it is okay to change it during the rally, however the number of units is limited as stated above.
Pity there couldn't be a SD for some WRC2 drivers for reference. Will have to wait for the rally proper...
