What does step 2 contain?
If I remember well, upgrades to the engine & software, new gear ratios, suspension kinematics and maybe rear differential. They said that they know the car is not good on gravel and will never be, so all these developments are basically aimed at tarmac performance
Sesks on Rally2 Fiesta in Portugal:
You have driven several Rally2 cars. Tell me, please, is the difference between these Rally2 cars big ?
"Each Rally2 car is different with its own little nuances. There are some Rally2 cars where the adaptation time is shorter, and you can drive fast quite quickly, but with other Rally2 cars you have to work more, in more detail. With Ford, you have to find the right settings quite precisely, and that golden mean is quite narrow, so it's not so easy to hit it exactly and find very good settings right away. This time we managed to find the right settings quite quickly, which also allowed us to drive fast. Our ''Past Racing'' Ford Fiesta Rally2 car was very competitive."
Luky made his debut with Hyundai Canarias's Step 2 i20 in Lanzarote and set one fastest time whilst finishing in 3rd place.

I hope Hyundai got some quick sales of their upgraded i20 Step 2, as Skoda have now released their Package 25 for the Fabia RS.
Luky's feedback about the Step 2 I20 after his first run in the car during the Lanzarote rally a couple of weeks ago is that the car is still too lively at the back end so will be interesting to see how quickly that they can dial that out.
