S2000 plus turbo would be nice. S2000 cars slide more and look more agile than a WRCar, especially on gravel, and a turbo would give it a bit more kick out of slow tarmac corners.
1.6 turbo maybe the way to go?
As long as they ban the Focus WRCs special suspension. Yawwwwnnnn.
Dont know how to post as it is printed in a newspaper not in electronic media - short of scanning the page and posting I dont know, but I think he meant from a sound perspective. The exact words he used were "When you see a Super1600 car you would believe it was going quicker than the World Rally Car just because it sounds right". about the WRC cars he said "I think the WRC cars are brilliant to drive. They work so well and are so responsive and react to your input so well, but watching them they are boring and they look so slow". He also goes on to say that he was once standing next to Fabrizia Pons on one tarmac stage (of a wrc rally) and he asked her if something has happened as he thought they were driving the stage as a road section!Quote:

The only car that sounds lame these days is the Focus, almost so quite it's dangarous.
But i don't think we are going to see stuff like this by the S2000. Has anyone ever seen a S2000 jump by the way? without the rear wing and dampers there's no way we are going to se 50m jumps anymore.

S2000 cars have been made for national championships!!!! Take group N + less technical wrc cars with 2500cc and maybe also still the GT`s!Quote:

Do they use that suspension anymore though? nothing special realy they just moved the mounting of the rollbar electricaly to lower ore raise the ridehight.

I think he should be less worried about placating the current (4) manufacturers than trying to attract some new ones in.
Re:the Focus suspension, that sounds like it is bordering on active. Kudos for developing it but it looks ugly and it gives too much traction and grip and makes the handling of the car look boring. That coupled with the muffled sound makes it my least favourite WRCar by a long way.

No, the Condroz is too busy for me... But I have seen Loix with Polo, Tsjoen with Punto and Casier with 207. These cars are really boring for me.Quote:
