    Sure? Before 1.1.2020 it was not legal to have two citizenships in Norway. Therefor he must have gotten it in 2020. Do you know that he got it in 2020?

    Is the spec on the 2C cars of Oliver and Loubet the same as factory team?

    If differences, what are they?

    EDIT:

    I wrote all the differences based on Monte setup that Loubet ran...only to see the pic of Solbergs car which is externally exactly the same as factory cars appart from the very small front update (with serrated edge dive planes) introduced in Monte.

    Clients not equal?
    Adamo generous or desperate? (my bet is on the last)

    I bet it doesn't make any difference if they have the latest updates or not..
    Some fins/aero-bars here and there won't change anything..

    If you have the pace you will show the time anyways.. Losing some diffusor on the stage doesn't mean +30sec at the end of the stage..

    In this rally it could make a huge difference, especially if you are committed to use the aero. There are high-speed sections and high-speed corners.

    Add 15+kg of packed snow at the back(as M-Sport test showed) and none of this detailed aero matters or makes sense..

    Seems like all the factory teams are stupid using so much money on it then.

    Yeah right and the aero stops working also when you add a second spare in the boot, or have Danos in the co-driver seat.

    All those small aero devices matter on the level of competition we’re having on the top level. Every fraction of a second counts.

    Besides, any snow on the diffusers will be equal for everyone.

    When there's 5cm's of snow sticking to Every surface that will seriously affect aero. But i assume they will clean it before every stage.

    more like 5mm . But I think the bigger effect than weight is that it blocks the air vents at the back. Also, that picture is from M-Sport test when the temperature was below -20 C

    We need Lluis555 to educate us
