    as SubaruNorway mentioned,all this requires different diff settings.
    generally if you do trail braking you cant use tight settings at front diff,because tight settings tends to understeer a lot without pressing the gas pedal.If you have understeer its difficult to find the corners apex/loosing the ideal line
    Tight settings will help with better traction,but will understeer ie at slippy corners without pressing the gas pedal(imagine now corners at ashpalt with gravel dirt=undrivable/dangerous for crashing)
    You have to find the sweet spot.Something is not easy when between all these you have to change settings at center electronic diff/ rear diff,suspension etc.

    In R5 Veiby seems to be completely lost after his crashing spree and also Lefebvre is slower than I expected.

    In Finland it might have been the change of dampers almost without testing that was as much or more important than aero.

    Exactly my thinking. I can only judge from Škoda swapping from Reiger to Sachs between S2000 and R5 and I know that it was quite painful at the beginning.

    I don't mean that. I meant that they were very different in characteristics and in philosophy and required a complex change of settings and geometry.

    They said already in Finland that the change is only for gravel. So same as before.
