And all they have to do is to homologate shock abrorbers for gravel because all the other suspension parts are original in R1. I looked at the technical specification and the chock absorbers are non-adjustable.Quote:

It would be strange if FIA has created the R1 regulations only for tarmac. At least the specific regulations concerning the shocks are same for R1, R2 and R3.
So can anyone explain shortly the R1a/R1b regulations? Is there special gearbox, differential, engine data...etz?
R1A is up to 1400 cm3 and R1B is up to 1600 cm3. Otherwise the regulations are the same for both. R1 is almost a stanadard car and R2 and R3 are almost the same for the execption some small differncies in the suspension and bodywork regulations.
As I recall it it's a stanadard car except chocks and ECU.
What about gearbox in R1? Dogbox? Sequential?Quote:

Thatīs a pity. Wouldnīt be so much more cost having adecent dog-box so that drivers can do left foot braking more properly... The learning should start even on this lowest level.Quote:
