[WRC] Rally Estonia 2022

[Lead]

Did I hear correctly? Engine issue for Huttunen on stage 1?

[meh]

Based on all-live maps, Virves stopped?

edit: moving again.

Not nice addition for Estonians after Kaur's situation.

If piston includes conrod length, that can change power and torque through geometry IIRC.

Piston means piston.

Software along with friction losses can amount to as much as 10 more hp.

If they go away from the traditional engine build philosophy you can free up many more HP, where as the usual brief is to have as much torque as possible for drivability. So if you go to add power there are many things within the parameters that you can change to achieve this.

Software is homologated as well.

I just read that the engine development 'freeze' was actually a freeze of the regulations, not of development of an engine itself within those regulations.

Engine development is frozen apart from few parts like I wrote The only other way is for reliability reasons.

Very different approaches in the last corners of SS3. Kalle, Tanak and Solberg seemed to break too much, while Fourmaux, Loubet were very fast, straighten the corners efficient.

So fast and efficient that they only finished 17.5 and 18.5 seconds off fastest

I didn´t talk about whole stage, man. Just one corner. Read again, please.

Tänak gives a lot of time away on every stage with second half

Still the power problems?

[meh]

Toyotas will dominate here again.

And I'm not saying you did... I just find it quite amusing that your analysis of that corner contrasts so starkly with the actual stage result (other than Solberg)...

Breen off...?

Edit: Off and steering broken.

Two completely different matters.
