WRC Croatia Rally 2021

[Mirek]

Stock EVO 8 on a gravel woth stock tyres was max 190. Well I couldn't dare to go any faster anyways

But on tarmac after about 150-160 the engine just wasn't very good/powerful enough. The tuned ones had quite good turbo lag....

@ 300 km/h the Evo drag force is roughly 3 kN which means that the power, needed to overcome it, is approximately 250 kW, i.e. 340 Hp. You need to add rolling resistance and mechanical efficiency (losses in transmission, power used for alternator atd.) to get the needed engine power but it's for sure possible with up-tuned Evo

I heard that they are warming up the brakes not to make them work but to keep them warm and to keep the whole wheel warm which helps retain the heat in the tires longer.

That is correct. The heat from the brakes heats up the rim and the whole wheel assembly. And that helps to keep the tyre warm.

At least in my country the past 30 years nothing has ever happened during warming tyres.

A few years ago in ypres, i believe it was meeke who crashed into a parked car while warming tyres.

David Evans on Rally Croatia's future.

Some interesting thoughts about spectators, changes needed for eventual future event and so on.

Good question at the end of the article; is there a place for Croatia on the calendar? Rotating system really seems like a possibility with Australia, NZ, Mexico, Argentina, Chile, GB and Germany missing this season. Much better option than what we had in recent years with almost no new venues and with the same and often boring ones.

Often boring ?

Can you please name some boring ones ?

I have never witnessed any boring ones but I can only remember from B-group time...

Not boring per se but boring in excitement and predictability. Most of the tarmac events were more or less predictable. These are also the words from Evans and Clark on one of the podcasts after rally Croatia.

We haven't seen tarmac rally as unpredictable and exciting as rally Croatia in a long time.

Don't take Colin Clark too seriously. David Evans yes he knows more what he's talking about.

Other than that Dirtfish content (podcasts/videos) holds more of an entertainment value.

I can make my own oppinion on the matter, thanks. I know who they are and we have the same oppinion on those tarmac rallies, that's why I mentioned them, their oppinion is more relevant than mine, obviously.

at your diagram shows that wilwood A while has 0,55 at 35 degrees,climbs to 0,67 when properly hot.Thats a huge difference
i know that technology mooves,i have tried almost everything in my evo from 2005,best so far without wearing discs is Carbotech xp 10.Impossible to fade them,even at 20-30 km downhill,or with repeat hard braking from 250-300km/h to full stop.Discs full red from glowing,pedal and feeling as the first brake.

0,55 is more than enough for the first corner. Most racing pads have lower maximum value. On the second corner it is already higher.
Have you tried Carbone Lorraine? In my 106 I had a problem with the handbrake. I put RC5 at the rear and I have very strong handbrake from 0 degrees. And at the front RC6 does not have any change in power from 0 degrees Celsius to whatever. It is impossible to fade them or detect any change in power. There are only two problems: Price and that it wears discs like crazy. I dare say that you change discs more often than pads.
