    I'm not too much of a fan of Eurosport's helicopter work to be honest, I prefer the onboards :D My favourite helicopter shot would be this one from 1:17 onwards...

    Re: WRC Testing

    Those crafts are more often than not stabilized via computer algorithms (hence they are called "drones" and not helicopters), so the piloting part can be mastered quite easily. Motors have plenty of...

    Re: WRC Testing

    very nice video indeed!

    as for the cost, professional turnkey solutions are in excess of 15.000 eur (which is still relatively cheap compared to full-scale helis, but not quite as fast-going) but...

    The other point of view would be 2013, vine.co, social media ;)

    I highly doubt WRC engines could produce 350 or even 400 hp with a 34mm restrictor in the turbocharger. With 33% engine efficiency the theoretical upper limit is 335 hp

    With the 34mm restrictor of 2.0L engines, theoretical limit was around 330 hp IIRC, a bit less with the new 33mm one, but...

    425 NM of torque at 5000 RPM means that the Polo has ~300 HP at 80% of the max power revs, meaning that there is 20% of the engine range where power is near maximal.
    For comparison, Focus WRC's...

    As stated in a different thread, engine torque does not mean much when it comes to performance comparison. What matters is HP & RPM and the gearbox ratios.
