    There were interesting bits in Sweden indeed. Like at the end of SS2. I don't know how to translate mä en tykkää tästä autosta kaasulla, se heti suoristuu toi keula properly, i.e. to maintain its original meaning, but obviously EP didn't like how the front behaved when trying to control the car (at the exit of a corner?) with right foot.

    If you watch Ogier on-boards he is doing very little LFB compared to the other guys. Maybe Seb O has already figured this out...

    I wonder if there's really that much difference between al those shock manufacturers. I can't image that some have secrets that others don't have knowledge about. Or do some have patents?

    I don't think it's about being "better" it's more that either the driver knows how they behave which gives him confidence or that their characteristics fit the characteristics of the car.

    They have all their own know how and strategies and moreover they have to deal with different mindsets and strategies of each manufacturter. Fortunately the number of variations in the whole system (car+driver+conditions) seems to be infinite.
