In the ECU are all the software and necessary data (mapping) needed. If all of these bytes of data are homologated, it’s no problem reading it and compares it with the homologated ones. All the checking program has to do is to scan true the memory addresses and compare the data in every memory address to the homologated ones.
And I don't normally respond to messages that are purely based on ad hominem circumstantiae but I couldn't hold my fingers on this one. :)Quote:

Also the 2008 Impreza didn't have "modern" two V-shaped tubes in the door - it had one diagonal tube to which two additional diagonal tubes were attached and the connection area was reinforced with steel plate construction.
I also may ask - why wasn't there ANY exterior photos or videos made available from Atkinson's car after the 2007 crash in Japan? With hard work I was able to obtain four bad-quality photos taken with a cameraphone by a marshall.
First and foremost; I'm not alone with my observations. I don't have any intentions to bash certain persons and/or companies. Just saying out loud my sightings an/or things which have been told to me.
I know all these mate but.......you cant identify if a map is different(ie.allow more boost,more timing etc) inside a rom. Million maps inside,and is something that can t measure like a wishbone,or a brake rotor.It is easy to cheat especially for a works team.Different maps can change even without touching the car.Quote:

The problem is of course that there can be a mapping that not allow full boost (below 2,5 bar absolute) for the privateers but if the only boost control that’s allowed is the same for both works team and privateers, isn’t should be a problem.
Modern ECUs are much more advanced than this; use flash memory, cpu's and dynamic parameters that is not possible just with ROM. I see nothing in the regulations that suggest that one car shall have equal settings to another. If this was the case it would be explicitly noted. It's just the software logic and hence use of parameters/sensor input that seems to be the target of the homologation. Which gives them ability to control what type of sensors are allowed to be used, and what they control. This is the central part of article 5.1.e, and makes perfect logical sense. It's the only way they can enforce those rules.
In such case the rpm limit and boost should be fixed parameters. And the software logic should not permit those to be exceeded. However that doesn't mean though that you can't have other parameters/settings that can be tuned. It doesn't make sense as it would be too technically limiting, and nothing either indicates such to be the case. So to me it looks clear that every car can be set up differently.
He also developed the pace note system of identifying corners by the steering angle requiredQuote:

ORECA is the developper of Skoda's 1.6T engine?
Wow, I didn't know this... Do you have any additional information about the system? Sounds a bit like Loeb's special system.Quote:
