    Earlier in his career and for so many years he had English speaking co-drivers so he was so used to listen to English notes so he preferred English even with a Finnish co-drivers.

    If the guy is talking about overall setup for a car, an active central differential will help (I assume) but if talking only about the central differential it’s a lot easier to make setups to the current “central differential”.

    This is actually based on Pikes Peak S1, but still a nice idea....

    Nice concept that's not going to happen. The new Focus RS is a 5-door car, also the Fiesta has the perfect basis for a WRC.

    I sincerely hope not. Sports cars ... yes, but once rally cars lose their connection to everyday transport the sport will lose all relevance and the majority of it's following.

    Wrong!

    Think cars like 037, delta S4, RS 200, quattro, celica. Those were not "everyday transport" and people were following...
