The only one that I can remember was from Ott (again). At the end of the last stage of day 1, he said that he had a hybrid issue on that stage. Can't recall any other.Quote:

Also I haven't heard any complaints from the driver's about the performance of the cars, or moans about less aero or the other changes compared to the last-Gen cars. Not even from the previously most vocal, Mr Neuville.
Watching his latest test video may be shows why...

Seems like the simplest solution? Hopefully they’ll come up with something before Kenya.
Hybrid and electric cars run an electric AC compressor where you don't need a belt to run it, so would make it easier to fit. Not sure if the battery is big enough on the Rally1 though?
Yet another issue with these spaceframe cars.Quote:

Packaging for the components (and not just the hybrid) and for the crews is really poor.

Hopefully they'll have a solution figured out in time for Sardegna.
