Say what? Higher revs means more burn cycles means more air used and all air must come through restrictor...Quote:

Last years stage winner on the first pass had a time of 13:51 seconds and was solberg.....this year the winner did it in 13.58...7 seconds in 24kms...not bad.
ostberg puntcure....
It is irrelevant with Rally Mexico, but I have a question for you Lambros. How different or difficult is it to drive a 4wd car without a center diff like the Fabia? In the slow corners the steering does not feel very stiff and hard especially from lock to lock ? OK in gravel but in tarmac ?
it is really fantastic how the new wrc cars just at first bunch of rallies,are equal so far at fast stages.Just to remember that both were moaning about limited time to build the new cars.Hats off at both.
ford is as fast as last year, while citroen is 0.4 slower per km. so their gap in mexico is reduced. it might be that the cars are very close in performance. We should wait for portugalQuote:

wilson 37 seconds slower......i think if wilson senior burned the money he gave to his son to continue his wrc torture the benefits would be much much bigger...he could keep the ford tent warm for the rest of the wrc season.
Seems that gap is not so big.Maybe fiesta engine not so handicaped at high attitude as focus.Quote:

At least Henning is on par with Wilson on 3, maybe 10 sec quicker on 4 ?
Yes in the end but less air per intake stroke.Quote:
