seems very neat cornering, less understeer and firmer body-roll in comparison to Pech's Mini in the same corner (first part of the video)Quote:

He wanted to make some experiments with the setup during the rally as he had a solid lead but the team didn't want to change anything. He said it's due to the fact that while every testing track he drives dozens of times in the real rally it's different. By that he wanted to say that what is perfect in tests after dozens of runs isn't always the best for first attempt on a not-known road. That doesn't mean the setup is bad but for sure it's possible to work on it further.

Some talk from the onboard of Kopecký SS1. It's not totally 100% word to word.
Jan: Do You think we'll catch him?
Pavel: I don't know.
Jan: Are we going to try?
Pavel: Yes. Go after him!
Pavel: Left six minus, maybe water. So, water for sure.
...
Jan: We are a bit closer, aren't we?
...
Jan: Colleague... (I think he wants him to give notes faster)
...
Jan (in the chicane): Holy shit!
Pavel: That was a close shave.
...
Pavel or Jan: Circuiiits!
...
Jan: Well, our goes a bit better.
Hehe, not bad for the car's first competitive stage. It seems pretty good on the brakes too.
Do any of the other manufacturers make the R5+ kit like msport do for the fiesta????
No, there is near non-existent market for it. I believe even in GB only very few such kits were sold. Maybe Wilson only needed to get rid of some redundant Focus WRC turbos and other parts.
R5+ already discussed on previous thread few months ago, this kit is only allowed for national championships?
Only where national rules allow it and in most of the cases only with a national homologation which is quite a lot of work to sell few parts here and there. The kit can not be homologated internationally as it's not following the FIA sporting code.
