But in real terms, all the other rallies have just got shorter, with 363km being relatively longer, but just around the average length of a rally in the period when Mouton or Todt asked for the Safrai to go longer still...
Average length has been close to 300km for 10 years. Rallies over 350km have been rare exceptions.
I can´believe those high figures around engines and gearboxes. It can´t be per unit, only an average of total costs... including development etz. So one more engine wouldn´t be that much as mentioned...
I think yes and manufacturer team can use up to 9 chassis per season. I don't know what's fuzz about here. Hyundai just puts this Tänak chassis into garage after this and take new car with new two...
What if some drivers are good destroying the engines more, some do destroy tires more, some do destroy whole cars more... I don't say Tanak do that. But last year he either was very good or bin it...
If this was so easy, why would they have a used engine + damaged spare in Chile? I think there is more to the rule
