dimviii explained it all. gravel spec car is heavier than tarmac spec as it has more protections - for suspension, for the floor, etc, etc. So you need less kgs from sump/diff guard. On the other hand basic car weights lets say 1230kgs (min. for S2k, R5, etc.) and then you need to have it 1390 with crew... if you have lighter crew you have to add some kgs, best way is to do it with sump/diff guard, etc, etc. In S2000 car for tarmac we had rear diff guard made from steel and with lead plates attached for better weight distribution and to achieve minimall mass, so that guard was over 80kgs...
Info about tsjoen seems to be wrong..

I must say I'm very disappointed over Peugeot technical failures. I placed K.Abring on the first place, he was so confident whole weekend, car was perfect, he ''ran over'' Loix who is multiple winner on this event. What a shame....Breen's case is just a sad continuation....
On the other hand-Peugeot has a nightmare; Malcom is smiling....
Aside from the reliability issues, I am not convinced the Peugeot is that well sorted yet and that it's advantage over S2000 cars is mainly/solely in it's torque and top speed. Watch these onboards, the 208 is very squirmy under braking, although maybe this is because they are braking from a higher speed: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6d72Xklwlw

Peter Tsjoen - comes through with the engine off rolling down the hill into the stop. He restarted the engine, gave a thumbs up and then headed straight off...
too many problems for Peugeot, and they said all the time they wouldn't release the car until it was ready, apart from the Acropolis win, things don't look good for their T16 machine...
They did well to get the car out of that ditch !Quote:

And Peter Tsjoen finishes the rally - something the 'factory' 208T16 cars couldnt do ... :rolleyes:
So Loix wins no.9 in Ypres... a win for experience for sure.
