They used new stuff like different dampers but they were according to the homologation. Otherwise they could not be allowed to start at all. Many teams use their own parts within the homologation, dampers are the most common case.
Also Abbring used the same car and he was never close to Ogier.
On the other hand at that time the S2000 were much closer to the WRC cars. The base design rules were same except somewhat stronger engine. Nowadays it's completely different world.Last edited by Mirek; 24th April 2021 at 18:19.

"The performance is there. We are very close to the limit. We had some scares so we have to be careful to keep the car on the road. We pushed very hard during the afternoon. Despite the two Toyota spare wheels, they are able to go faster than us at times, so it looks difficult in pure performance, but the longest stage is yet to come and the profile of the stages on Sunday is different. risk but from time to time, you have to dare to go there. We also know that there are rallies on gravel afterwards so there is no point in being first on the road either. The goal is clearly to take as many points as possible here. If we don't win, we'll be content with 2nd or 3rd place, "also analyzed the current 3rd in the event, also second in the championship before arriving in Croatia.

And the Frenchman to back up his point: "It's a weakness of these tires, we had already announced it at Monte-Carlo. When it's a puncture lottery, it's not very fun. I die. three times in as many on the same tracks as everyone else, without feeling a particular impact. A single puncture costs us time, about ten seconds. The other two, the pressure is too low once we pass the line. finish of the special. There is certainly work to be done at this level. I am not reassured, in each special. We will try to remain positive because I hope that the success will be with us until the end of the rally . "

A puncture may also have something to do with the rims they use. After a tyre supplier change it wouldn't be that surprising.
As for the battle - the longest stage tomorrow is different than the rest of the rally. It may bring some surprise.Stupid is as stupid does. Forrest Gump

Is Ogier running too low pressure knocking them off the rim then? Seems like something you would do when the grip is so low
