i20 on gravel this week.
Nice sound but no notable anti-lag again.

How come that Princen with 208 T16 Evo is in fact a lot slower than normally (currently running Sezoensrally)? It's not a question of one or two bad stages, he is slow constantly.
Indeed.. Maybe tommeke knows more. Princen was almost whole rally last year faster than Loix. Loix more faster than last year is quite obvious because last year was with the Fabia S2000, now with R5 but Princen his times are way too slow even losing from Vincent. And the strategy this weekend was full attack after their crash in Wallonie..Quote:

I thought the issue was solved with the new pop-off valves, wasn't it?Quote:

you cant protect it with something heatshield?Quote:

now it's combination of plastic and some kind of other material - aluminium? Not sure exactly as I didn't open new spec - manufacturer says they will examine all which seems to be faulty, so I'm sending them back to UK.
Thanks. I'm asking because I work with plastics and there is a really reasonable change of dimensions with temperature. Normally alluminium prolongs with the temperature approximattely twice more than steel but plastics around 10x more than steel.
Watched the latest Irish Tarmac round last night and the DS3 R5 of Keith Cronin was again having all kinds of problems...
His chances in the Irish and British series is being ruined by that car. :(
Keith uses his own car in the ITRC , the car that Keith used on the first round of the BRC was the car Craig used to win the Circuit. It would seem that his problems all started when he damaged the car on the circuit but the ITRC is best 5 out of 7 rounds to count with the last round in Cork having bonus points as well so that series is far from sorted , as for the Mid Wales stages he just had a bad run which after all was his first run on gravel in a fair while and he opted for Killarney instead of the Pirelli so he's sort of gave up on the BRC anyway.Quote:

The 208 T16 Evo's front end (minus the airbox. Also, the new intercooler is remarkably big compared to the old one:

It is a new car? chassis number unknown ;)
With renting teams it is very difficult to have correct chassis numbers. Especially when chassis number is not always fixed so registration plate...
There are loose infos about how many cars they have. There were reports that they bought 3 new cars prior to the season (2 complete, 1 in loose parts). This is certainly new as they sold the oldest one to GB, but I don't know if KN S 085 is a new car with old plate or it is still C#30. TRT used to switch the Slovakian plates around on their cars back in the day (I think a plate that belonged to a 207 S2000 one year was used on his ex-works Evo 6.5 the next year). So there might still be a chassis we haven't seen, who knows...Quote:

Over here, each plate belongs to a specific chassis, no way of putting it on another car.
at some countries i think is legal if you declarate at state(uk)
Has much real life testing taken place on the Twins before the Evo kit went for sale?Quote:

Thats why it is almost impossible to be correct with the cars in databases, because one registration plate can be used on different cars. And some teams are doing it (officially, but mostly unofficially)... I remember situatio from S2000 era, when one plate was driving on three different races (so also cars) during one weekend...

How do You know that You have everything right?
Sources are the best :) we only have an issue with H-Racing cars. We work hard to have all right. Thanks god, many teams contact us and like have it right to later sell the cars.
