Some drivers are happy with the extra power, but others aren't. The experiment to try to make the MR cars close to the R5 cars didn't went well, as the MR cars only were able to won 2 or 3 SS in three events.
It looks like they are going back to 34mm restrictor for the next race and I think is the better idea, as you could see the cars spinning the wheels like driving on ice.
IMO the MR cars should follow the N5 route, with a common ECU setting and better transmision.
