I think it is a 2 piece wing. all cars have the basis "thing" on, and only 1 car has the second piece fit to the car.

Honda engines vtec/vti/s2000 rev with ease at 9000rpm as you get them from factory,and with a factory quarantee for 100k kms.Peugeot 106 s16 in grA from local garages make power at 8500rpm.and some at more rpms.I am talking about engines that they last thousands of kms.Of course peugeots have different pistons/rods/cams but nothing with extraordinary materials.
280-300bhp from a natural aspirated 2000cc 4 cyl engine is not new.Before 30 years even with dual carbs (and not with high end electronics )were winning championships at rallies with 300km special stages.

Use your head....you work for an industry and there are some major changes going on... the more people are interested the more money you will get....now would you go around and say to people that the new product will be worse than the one offered for some time, or you would just try and cover things up...

some of you know some stuff...the majority do not know nothing, and just post for the sake of it....and then i am the bad boy and the nuisance in here.

I wish you were more of an optimist! They obviously wont be as quick over a stage because of the slower more 'sideways' driving style they will have to adopt due to having no centre diff, they will have to throw it into corners much more. They will also be revving higher and so will sound faster.. combining both factors they should be more spectacular to watch.

The new regs are not my ultimate ones but I do think the changes are all positive, Im really looking forwards to this season for the 1st time in quite a few years, I dont care if they are a little slower than the old cars over a stage, as long as they provide more spectacle.. thats all that matters to me.

How much alike are the S2000 Fiesta and the WRC version to drive ? Will driving the s2000 give you training for the WRC?

For sure yes.

If anyone wonders whether there will be spectacular and see the new WRC cars, I can assure you, the sound, speed and appearance are fabulous. I've been on the test today with Stobart team, Østberg was brilliant.
Look forward to the Swedish Rally with joy.
