You are right about there´s more, Mirek. Economy, drivers, available parts, money again.
However knowing their engine is a bit less powerful maybe made them play a game with gear ratios in ARF. Because enginepower matters, believe the guys telling that on forum.
However most of all it could´ve been driversmaterial in the end. Anyway, Malcolm Wilson have to step up, that´s for sure."Reis vas pät pat kaar vas kut"

Yes, hitting top speed is quite rare in today's rallying. I think I can say I've investigated enough routes and watched onboards to feel qualified to say that.
The Fiestas could also lose time in fast corners, maybe 5th gear corners, or accelerating from 5th to 6th gear. We don't have enough data to say it.

At least the 760 metres final full acceleration of Kaihuavaara 1 doesn't make any difference between Evans, Neuville or Suninen. They all take exactly the same amount of time, 18.2 seconds.
Same thing on the ~1 km straight at the middle of Aittajärvi after the double junction. Rovanperä and Suninen are exactly equal.
My verdict is that when the cars accelerate on a straight road, they are quite equal. Cornering is where they have differences.Last edited by AnttiL; 3rd March 2021 at 16:00.

Maybe it is about the drivers not using the cars as efficiently and losing time compared to others.

What the hell are you guys on? Suninen said that Ford lacks aero on fast corners. Thats it. It's not rocket sience.

Keith Cronin just took a huge 18.2 sec out of both Devine & Edwards on SS4 ! Edwards says that's mental and Keith is a special talent.
