Re: Rally Cars tech stuff
for some years now M-Sport cars were designed with more body roll than other cars. it's because of mounting points of the suspension, but also because of softer springs, dampers, etc.

True, but after NORF pre event test last year they visibly stiffened the setup on the cars based on drivers demands, and the results were instantly better as well..

Re: Rally Cars tech stuff
There is R5+ already for British championship I presume, Wilson junior tested it last year on some event. Probably he meant that, yes it is developed, but I have no idea will be used by someone. Concerning differences, I think it had bigger restrictor and 6 speed gearbox AFAIR.

Re: Rally Cars tech stuff
R5+ is something similar to S2400, I mean planned for promotion/national events, etc. R5+ kit contains bigger turbo, bigger restrictor, etc. M-Sport plan to have conversion kits available for customers, but AFAIK those kits are not ready yet.

Corner here in 1:58: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VWTIxREKX-M#t=119 (usually the line was a bit more from inside).
