Its all about being quickest using what is available within the regulations, saying that the current WRC car is underpowered, even on asphalt is in my opinion very far from the truth. You can always wish for more, and thats the reason for this discussion !!!!!!Quote:

It's strange because if you read the interview he talks like he'll be involved for quite a time in SX4 development... he couldn't say the truth until the contract is over (end of the year ?), isn't it ?Quote:

I've been thinking the same way for quite some time. After all, I'm yet to see full tech specs of Suzuki WRC.Quote:

not too bad for the first ever gravel jump tackled by the MSD built MG S2000 Sport!
Well anyway they need to make the S2000 much faster than today to not get beaten by the old group N cars.
Was that jump 50m? and how was the landing? David Higgins Corola almost goes end over end on the Barry Johnson jump at 5sec http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-Cp0...eature=related
It wasn't 50 metres.... apart from Henning no one came close to the 50 m mark, but it landed perfectly.
