WRC Testing

[Sulland]

The aerodynamicks is getting rediculus. Look at the small appartment the Yaris has in current config. Starting to look like an american short track car

some would like to get rid of all the aero things and have slower and more sliding cars. We are soon back to the Metro 6R4, that I think was the first car buildt around aero and wind tunnel testing.

how much diff is it btw a R5 and WrcCar downforce wise?

Hard to say exactly but definitely huge difference. There are nearly no aerodynamic features allowed on the R5.

I don't know the values, but you can feel big difference in grip on the rear when driving R5 without original rear wing. Also when you install big WRC rear wing then you feel big advantage over typical R5 wing.

Maybe first car after the mighty Saab 96....
And which came first: 7R4 or the Audi S2 "Batmobile" with all the foofy stuff which made World Debut at 1985 Oh-limp-wrist (Olympus) Rally
(1985 Olympus was FIA observation year--1906 was real WRC and last WRC for Saab 96 and a few other cars--in Group B)
Hannu Mikkola and Arne Hertz....so was that before 6R4?

Ok just checked 6R4 debut in November 85 at RAC, so Mikkola/Hertz Batmobil was before it in Jun 85 so it was second car.....efter 96:an
