Yeah but you know me..I'm really a cross-idiot in the deepest part of what passes for brains...We don't obesses to the same degree as car guys about technical "end-of-the-world" larvigheter..

Example


Se how Mats Jonsson in Stig Blomqvists old 1997 spec Whirled Rally Car Escort Cosworth just a few years ago makes times good for 4th --5th 6th if he was in WRC Sweden insted of the SM rally behind..
Ancient car......17 years behind
Ancient guy!

Mere seconds behind..

So many tiny factors I say the biggest is between the ears.. Drive, krut i magen, råg i ryggen because the technical spec is so strictly controlled in so many ways regarding the engines.. so i discount the engines...there's a whole lot of other things after the motor

And there's the internat PUSH..
Don't want to guess too much but those guttar have pretty nice life if they never lift a finger to get in a car again, right? It's in a way just fun for them..another couple of fractions of second is not going to change their lives.. Push internally is the hardest factor to weigh...
this was pretty clear in my sport when even though it is multiple factors more pysically demanding, routinely you see guys who don't LOOK all full of muscles beat guys who were...there was something pushing harder inside their head and that made the decisive difference...
