Thats my take on it too.. totaly different way of driving these modern active centre diff cars.. they reward smooth circuit race car style driving where as before pre-active diff, the balancing of the cars all had to be achieved manually by weight transfer and as you say Duff.. precisely the reason why many (but not all) of the previous generation of drivers suffered, though I'd say Carlos faired better than most.Quote:

Take Sèb to the old ages of WRC without so much technology around and we'll see
yes yes....a few years back it was the active diffs that made him fast....Quote:

Dear friend, this is a free forum where everyone has the right to criticise any drivers...and you are not allowed to insult them for that. Make sure you remember that !Quote:

How could you say that Makinen is less then Loeb? Loeb is driving for the same team in many years!Quote:

First Loeb has be proven to be fast in other WRC Team. If he is fast in another WRCar, you have a good argument. For now, it is really bad.
You lay your argument on very unstable foundations my friend... One could argue the same of Loeb being Citroens golden boy and his achievements as a number king due to the number of events in the current WRC callendar. The only thing missing is his move to another team.. should be interesting to see what the future brings.Quote:
