Sorry for offtopic but I have a question...
Did a WRC2014 spec car have an ABS? (I know that modern WRC have, old one(C4,Xsara) - no)
a) If yes - how explain 4 wheels lock-up for Mikkelsen in this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0eytDhBFtJ0 ?
b) if no - how explain characteristic sound from ABS 1:34 from this video http://youtu.be/g9rzJkbQCtU?t=1m34s ?

ABS in WRCs? I heavily doubt that... Almost 100% can say that no ABS in them. IMHO the sound at 1:34 comes always in unusually tight brakings when the engine is in danger to suffocate...

I think a driving style. He too much wobble a car (finding grip limit?) and at right corner he find him. Why not drive smooth? Originally Posted by makinen_fan

No electronic ABS for sure. The sound from Citroen is probably from the diff, he had some problems with it. Originally Posted by KKS

this noise is from drivetrain when blocking the wheels with brakes with some gear engaged. Originally Posted by KKS
