-tolerance in measurements is 0,5mm (X,Y,Z system)
-Monte cars have already been tested outside
-those (grey ones) which were under built were Sweden cars (is that possible? They donīt have to use same cars than in Monte?)
-container to Mexico leaves this week
-talked about safety of cars (lot of foam everywhere)
-tenth is over 50m wide
-open also for public, not only for VIP
-both end of tenth is place for audience, race cars are in middle

The suspension is made by external company).Quote:

It was likely just a random number thrown for clueless audience.
However if you saw the clip it was about the rollcage mounting in bodyshell, I suppose. You donīt even have to be engineer to understand 0,5 mm is huge in other parts.
actually there was still that one hanging...Quote:

Bodywork +/-0,5 mm is on the other hand very very strict. I doubt it's feasible to achieve but maybe it is.
+-0,5 mm was about that frame he was standing about, there is 25 fixing points for car body with tolerance +-0.5mm.

he saved them from intoxication, but how?
He saw a house that was on fire at night. Rang fire brigade. Broke into house to waken people sleeping inside. Everyone got out of house safely http://www.marca.com/motor/rallies/2...37c8b4652.htmlQuote:

why the hell are you trying to read something like that out of nowhere?
you have something against him or m-sport?
I have nothing against him, just trying to figure out why in the world he signed with M-Sport? It all looks like he had no other choice to me.Quote:

Well, no need to be an expert to conclude the same, but Toyota is a match for Ford as we speak.Quote:
