I don't agree, DS3 has more grip than the Fiesta. Especially the rear looks like it glues itself to the road in the DS3 when it accelerates out of the corner. Fiesta is excellent on big flowing roads but it loses to DS3 on the more technical and narrow turning stuff. It's all in the diffs IMHO.Quote:

I think we are talking about different things. Traction under acceleration has more with diffs and weight distrubution, than the more general Gripp I am referring to. It is difficult to describe this in a language other than my own. At least for me. The discussion can easily lead to unnecessary misunderstandings, you constantly have to explain.Quote:

Stage is live. Two long stages before first service, should be interesting :)
Good afternoon folks! First cars are on the stage. :bounce:
Here's hoping Tänak has a clean day and a nice fight with Novikov and why not even Östberg. And how about a stage win for Neuville? :s mokin:
Neuville will run in Nobres dust, he will at least catch him in the long one...
True, his starting position is most unfavourable..Quote:
