    Maybe a silly question for some, but which drivetrain are the big teams using? Like gearboxes etz? We have XTrac, Sadev, Quaife or do they use own developed technics?

    Someone made a post the other day about the decline of specialists in Rallying which made me think. How many drivers actually did enough rounds to really be in a position to challenge for winning a World Drivers Championship. For whatever reason I looked back to 1995:

    Year Number of rounds Number of drivers doing all rounds Winner
    1995 8 4 (3 drivers also did 7 rounds Colin Macrae
    1996 9 4 Tommi Makinen
    1997 14 3 Tommi Makinen
    1998 13 6 Tommi Makinen
    1999 17 7 Tommi Makinen

    2015 13 9 (Paddon and Prokop did 12) Ogier

    Now my stats might be a bit out of kilter but the question I'd like to ask people, is it harder to win a WRC drivers championship today than it was in the mid 1990's. Does it make the drivers of today more impressive or not? Too many other variables?

    Too many variables. The champions of each time/year/period are the best with what was there at the time. Some like Loeb for example didn't have as much competition but he will always be one of the greatest. That he had less competition says more about how good he was, and how he made the gap bigger. The specialist has gone because a more complete driver is now what is required. Drivers in central Europe, fr, de, tend to start on tarmac, while drivers from Finland start on gravel. Now they are expected to learn both. The drivers now want the championship as much as the manufacturers used to. Now both want to win, and all of the time. 2017 will see some very different approaches to win because of the greater competition. Every point will count
