Just ourt of curiosity... I know that te official engine performance values in racing units are usually 100% BS but the people shall think at leat a little bit when they put them into their official promotional materials because otherways they end with values which mathematically contradict each other like those of the latest Fiesta R5.

Polos are not coming, VW not releasing cars at the moment, until they will solve the fire issue. They already identified the problem and already new parts (similar to Skoda ones were tested during the week, should be tested tomorrow in official VWMOSP car. Seems it solves the problem. So bulletin should be released after the weekend and first updated parts should be ready for Sardegna. And then should be installed in currently build cars and those should be released to customers.

I suspect that if FIA continues down this route, then Hyundai won't need to develop a new car, because they won't be in the WRC> It really is a stupid strategy of the FIA to spend more money on...
