Thanks, I thought it's this but I was not sure

as SubaruNorway mentioned,all this requires different diff settings.
generally if you do trail braking you cant use tight settings at front diff,because tight settings tends to understeer a lot without pressing the gas pedal.If you have understeer its difficult to find the corners apex/loosing the ideal line
Tight settings will help with better traction,but will understeer ie at slippy corners without pressing the gas pedal(imagine now corners at ashpalt with gravel dirt=undrivable/dangerous for crashing)
You have to find the sweet spot.Something is not easy when between all these you have to change settings at center electronic diff/ rear diff,suspension etc.

In R5 Veiby seems to be completely lost after his crashing spree and also Lefebvre is slower than I expected.

Thanks, I know this I was just not sure if I properly understand the English term

Ogier's car engineer (who is Czech by the way) told to mediasport/ewrc crew yesterday that according to him the aero changes are not expected to be felt that much by the driver. He was anyway confident that they are strongly prepared.

In Finland it might have been the change of dampers almost without testing that was as much or more important than aero.

Exactly my thinking. I can only judge from Škoda swapping from Reiger to Sachs between S2000 and R5 and I know that it was quite painful at the beginning.

VW were struggling with them as well to work proper I think.

I don't mean that. I meant that they were very different in characteristics and in philosophy and required a complex change of settings and geometry.

Anyway which dampers is Ogier using here in Germany?

They said already in Finland that the change is only for gravel. So same as before.

trying to find a photo from previous rally,nobody cared to took one.
