Very interesting read! This is what prompted my post above about 2.5L normally aspirated engines, McRae said costs would be slashed as the engines would be powerfull enough without the need for expensive turbos' intercoolers, water injection sprays, a host of highly qualified laptop engineers to study terrabites of data etc, and mechanical gearboxes. He may have had a vested interest but CMcRae said then we will see who can drive.
He (Collin) know what he was talking about.
Why do the F.I.A. need so much time to get what rally realy is? At last they see that the WRC Cars are too expensive and too fast! Why they wait soo long?
