WRC car on TG test track?

>seem to remember hearing, quite a while ago, that during the Grp B era >someone took a Delta S4 in tarmac spec around a circuit (Estoril I think) >and it would have qualified 5th in that years Grand Prix! (not sure how true >this is)

As i remember it was pug205. I saw somebody (probably alen) was talking about that in clip about gr b.
For wrc cars there should be "disrestricted" drives just cuz pagani haven't got such things. The other feature is gearbox. WRcar can reach not more than 210 kph with overscrewing engine, so think it should be prepared for such circuit.

From http://www.stormloader.com/groupb/index.html
" Henri Toivonen drove an S4 around Estoril, the Portuguese Grand Prix circuit, so quickly that he would have qualified sixth for the 1986 Portuguese Grand Prix."

Forget about gravel !
A Citroën C4 (or Focus) is much much faster than an Enzo on a TARMAC stage (whichever one).

On stage - probably, on a circuit - no.

Come on lets write a letter to Top Gear suggesting that they test a new age wrc against a new age super car. I bet a Enzo, Zonda ore a Murceliago woulden't stand a chance around the Top Gear test track. With the budget they are running this season i don't think its a problem.

A WRCar stands absolutely no chance against a modern supercar on a track like the TG track.

The impreza is a whole second faster from 0-60mph
and i think a Rally car has a perfect gear ratio for the TG track not least i can cut the corners without falling apart :D

Acceleration is not everything. At some point the Impreza stops accelerating and the supercar goes straight past.

But the TG track doesen't have high speed sections
