[WRC] Vodafone Rally de Portugal 2018 (18/21-May)

[Rally Power]

Nordgren showed nice speed when his tyres kept intact, considering this was his eighth 4WD rally ever. For example third on SS3, SS12, SS15, SS16 and second on SS4, SS10 and SS20.

You’re right on Nordgen; he made some good times, but he didn’t look that fast on the stages; the opposite of Breen.

The Clerk of the courses of Rally Finland have also expressed their concern for the speed of the current cars and said it would be awesome to have the current engines and safety equipment with less suspension travel and aeros and without center diffs, resulting in lower cornering speed and more sideways driving.

If current WRC cars speed becomes a real concern (hope not, but somehow it’s not hard to believe it will) it would be much simpler to restrain their engine with a smaller air restrictor instead of being changing their suspension, transmission or aero. Having major tech rules chancing all the time is never a good policy.
