PSA cars have new engine mappings for Evo kits, and there you can choose boost levels by simple rotary switch. Base spec had different engine maps with different boost levels.

Hyundai problems are little more complicated - some are suppliers fault, some bad luck and some I think simply because of quite short testing phase.

But if someone thinks those are because of test driver then it means he knows absolutely nothing about developement of the car.

br21 why Breens ds3 had blanked part of front bumber comparing to Lefebvres ds3? different mapping? or wrong mapping?

it's to cover the radiator when it's running too low coolant temperature.
some teams don't care about it and they don't use it...
cars of Breen and Lefebvre were from different teams.

isn't it wrong to run low collant temp?

Interesting reason to retire but it's true that Croation roads when wet are crazy slippery.

Indeed, very very slippery. I was a co-pilot in RWD car, it was very sideways all the time...brings a lot of smile on your face.
Also Aco Lino, who drove Friulimotor P208 R5 as a "0" car, retaired because of the same reason as De Cecco....had enough of rain.

Well I have never developed a rally car in my life, so absolutely, I have no idea what the process is. I just thought it was an interesting correlation that two initially troublesome cars both were developed by the same driver. That doesn't mean I believe it is his fault, just that it is an interesting remark.

Also the oil sump should be protected by the skidplate so if something would pierce it, it seems weird given that Abbring cuts pretty agressively... an issue in that area should have come up in testing, one would think.

De Cecco and Aco, no money no funny, they must pay too much if they destroy their cars (rented cars) HMI Hyundai i20 and Friulmotor 208

What are you guys talking about? De Cecco was driving Pug 208 in Condroz and the reason he retired was an off, had nothing to do with rain or slippery roads. Dilley and Duval were driving Hyundai's and they both retired with sump gard pierced.

Cedric De Cecco vs. Claudio De Cecco...

That's not the right De Cecco. I think they aren't even related
