The overall design!
Petherhansel words on '16 car:
“You can really feel the difference now that the car is longer and wider, with a lower centre of gravity, because it’s a lot more stable so cornering speeds are faster. You can feel the difference in the engine as well: not only is it more powerful but also you can use all the power even at low revs. We’ve almost got a ‘problem’ now of how to manage all that power most effectively, but this is a very nice problem to have. We’re still not at the maximum of our capabilities, but testing has been very productive so far.”
The new suspension geometry also helped getting it more stable and easy to push to the limits. The '16 changes weren't only small evolutions like Famin said, it's a whole new car, designed with drivers inputs (mostly SP). This time it seems they've got it right!Rally addict since 1982
