[WRC] News & rumours (part IV) 2016

So your saying the engine inlet or exhaust isn't designed properly from the sound of the exhaust on a 3 minute youtube vid

I expect Mercedes f1 will be ringing you soon to offer you a job with your talent

Boy, you don´t know how hard it is to get a proper inlet, or exhaust, however this is turboengines which makes it´s easier without dropping efficiency. Sound though tells you how bad or good it´s designed.

really ? i think cfd , flow bench and dyno is a better way to develop an inlet and exhaust system than a ear .

i been working in wrc for 15 years now and you are the only guy i know that can evaluate the design of a engine from a youtube video through a video camera s microphone

I have modified an old car from the 70's/80's and turned it into a tarmac rally car and ALL the engine specialists I talked to predominantly use their ear as part of the tuning process. "Tearing calico sheets" was the sound described to me that my car should sound like at full throttle and 6500 RPM.

You don't design the exhaust and intake using your ear of course but Rallyper is right, the ear is a good guide to let you know if something is amiss.

Nice change for Sweden, looking forward! It looks like around 60% of the stage kilometers will be new for all WRC drivers.

will mikkelsen replace jari mati in the main team of VW?

There won't be main team and secondary team I think. All three drivers will be in one team and the points of the top 2 in an event will count to the championship.
