Still Reiger (for the moment), but way better than current ones.

Different car chassis behave differently to different dumpers...

Just curious, what's different?
..And can you say how much damper travel for gravel the units have?
Asking for a friend.

I don't know the figure for Fiesta but officially it's 275 mm for Polo R5. I assume it is similar.

current spec:
front has 248mm of stroke before rubber bumpstop engaged
rear has 275mm in the same conditions.
Motion ratio is 1,1 so you can calculate wheels stroke

Colin Clark's new vlog suggests a third car is possible for Citroen if they find themselves in a good position in the Manus ch'ship.

And Breen is keeping match-fit with Irish and Italian events...

1. It's just his pure speculation. While not impossible it will likely need extra funding, cause Ogier will not want to move any development money.

2. Østberg has been faster and a more reliable point scorer for Citroen in 2nd half of 2018 and he still works for them. So he is likely first pick for gravel.

Clark says Citroen actually covet the Manus ch'ship more than the Driver's... and it wouldnt cost that much more to run a 3rd car.

I think its entirely possible a 3rd car for the second half of 2019.
