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
