Probably only brit fans and journos in a state of denial.

Is that the same tech staff have been recently sacked? Apparently....

Torque split is changing for Poland from 30/70 to 50/50. Will be interesting to see how Mikkelsen gets on.
Does anyone have any information on the torque splits other teams are using?

A new rear differential rail and a modified torque split between the front and rear. Mikkelsen has the best chance yet of a Citroen result. Makes it a little odd that Meeke wasn't able to test the new parts.

i posted it in news thread too but anyway....very strong words from him...if he can get a podium on PURE pace this weekend then he is backing his words but if he finishes outside TOP6 again then it doesnt do any good for his reputation.

but we will see.

Are You sure about that? 30/70 for gravel doesn't sound right. In the past some cars had uneven torque split but mostly only on asphalt.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought the torque split could be easily changed by the driver at any given time?

No, it can not. There is not and never has been any torque vectoring system used in WRC cars. What is being changed by switching of differential maps is the locking behavior not the torque split.
