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.

Wow, new look of the best forum in the world.

CPU’s has been used for decades already. Intel introduced their first CPU (4004, 4 bit processor) in 1971 and few years later the 8008 (8 bit processor).

Dynamic parameters yes but there’s have to be a program to change these parameters and that should be able to homologated i.e. what is the program allowed to do.

How come? Just below the page numbers there is a little 'quick navigation' menu which leads to every subforum on here.

I prefer username and avatar left from the post instead of above it. You loose way to much scrollspace.

I had read an article, that Citroen will have difficulties getting the fith DS3 WRcar available for Rally Sardinia. I can't dfind it anymore, only a French article. Has someone a link to the Englisch version of the article? thanks

+1

I dont think it looks terrible, most users were used to the old setup and it might take a while before we get used to this.
