Question: In regards to engine mapping, does anyone know for sure if a rally team such as PSWRT actually has access to edit their own engine mappings on their own dyno or are they only allowed to receive engine maps from the manufacturer to use?
I assume WRCars use something similar to a top of the line Motec ECU for engine control. Such units are very powerful in what they can control.
So whats to stop a private team spending testing days on a dyno to get the most out of their engine package.
€ and time. Citroen has thousands of hours in all sorts of climates, worth of data and experienceQuote:

He will also be the first to take Loeb down again :eek: You don't seriously think Loeb will beat Petter with equal machinery :DQuote:

0,2 sec pr km turns out to be alot in the end of a rally. Over 1 minute in NORF..
0,2 should be 1 minute in most rallies, since min distance for wrc rally is 300 km ;) but you will, even these days, wery often be on the podium if you are 1min behind the winner.Quote:

Loeb has a better transmission than even Sordo I think. Petter will never get that.
