Yes, I know they use BOS based dampers but I meant general working of suspension - very soft springs with long suspension travel and also a lot of bodyshell movement due to acceleration and braking. These aspects seem to be closer to Focus than C4 to me.

I really like a lot this DS3 racing !!!! :D

It's also already the case with the road car :cool:

It looks ugly as well.

Well, it is boring and ugly then.

I think it's a fine looking car. But at the same time I think it's a bit lame compared to current WRC guns.

Its looks nice but i miss the sound of the 2.0 na engine of the s2000 cars, i think its a shame it will be a 1.6 T.

Interesting vid.

I think it's maybe a little better than the current WRCs but at the same time I am a little disappointed. Are they using full S2000 spec transmission on that?

I will look forward to seeing what it is like with the 1.6T engine and also a tarmac test to see how "loose" the car is there.
