Whatever the formula, the cars don't steer themselves. The local competitors still have to front up & do the business.
But as it happens, the local formula here is nothing particularly special. Group N cars with the allowance to run a 36mm restrictor & some non homologated parts to reduce cost (i.e. AP brakes instead of the hugely expensive STI equivalent). Hardly world beating stuff and nothing that ought despatch a well driven S2000 to also ran status.Never do anything you wouldn't want to explain to a paramedic.

Gill's total time 2 hr 11min 39.7, Mason 2hr 11' 50.5, (after brake time loss), Kopecky 2hr 11'51.6
Drivers from NZ will be a development/ funding issue. Tapper was before Paddon in the Pirelli Scholarship. Hopefully Paddon will pass on a few lessons so the next people get quicker sooner. I suspect Paddon has done so already with the pace of Holder in hist first 4wd event.

Well, it's not just for looks. It has a function on high speeds (technically it must have some function, You can not make a wing with no function). I don't try to make some excuses for APRC drivers, I'm just curious about local cars.
Anyway considering Kopecký has never been a top dog on gravel and he has never driven anything close to 10000 km from NZ the result doesn't look that strange. I bet in Barum Mason would be off the pace tooStupid is as stupid does. Forrest Gump
