did u see it the new scoob mint as f**k man pity they both wrecked theirs on the first rally usless people eigh!!!!!!!!

ouch bridgetastic :eek:
Si
PS did look real nice thou IMO until the extra dents nice 2 c a scweet scooby flyin & lookin good again :D

yes definatly (i realy can not spell) realy smart wish i could afford a new one. so what power the WRC rally cars got?

Hmm, I preferred it without the Solberg modification ;)

Damn good rally tho :D

yes they were both pretty bad but gronholm crashed his their aswell so it was not just a subaru moment.

Thought Colin did well for his first time out in action in the car and i dont like the rear wing on the Scooby :(

Andy

They are all limited to 300bhp. Think they have monster torque though!

MB

300 my a...! Thats what the official reg say but I would bet the teams get a different story I would think at least 350-375 would be a bit closer.

Thought the scoobs looked **** hot!!!http://www.stopstart.freeserve.co.uk/smilie/silly.gif

Cheers

Al

don't suppose Solberg'll let me have the rear sway bar off his? Prob be the only bit worth having and I do need a new one.

What can I say - brought me and my boy to tears!

T.

i doubt the 300bhp limit is quite as bendable as the 280bhp japanese limit :rolleyes:
Si

The 300 is not exceedable. As part of the regulations the cars all have a restrictor in the air feed (32mm?). It wont be very much over 300BHP. See the thread in general "How much power has...."

Get your facts right. A number of years ago they ran 500 BHP + Audi quattro's etc...

There is no limit on torque AFAIK.

Runour has it Toyota were running a bit more than 300bhp a few years :D :eek:

But then they did get done for cheating...

The regs say 300bhp, though i heard a couple of years ago that the focus WRC would make about 360ish.

I think they did it by having the engine run excess boost for a short period on acceleration. Presumably then if the FIA dyno test the engines, over a run it will settle at 300bhp.

I'd guess that if FMC were doing it, they all did, and i don't recall any major WRC regulation changes in the last few years that might have changed this.

Sorry to correct you all, but there is no 300bhp limit on the cars anywhere in the regs.

The cars run a 34mm inlet restrictor that effectively limits the amount of maximum power that can be extracted from these engines. When they were first introduced, the figure was around 300bhp. However later engines were developed further and I believe the last spec Corolla runs around 370bhp with monster torque. The trick with the cars is not the maximum power but the power band of the engines to produce close to that maximum power/torque.

The works teams dont release dyno figures for their cars but a friend of a friend ran a latest spec Corolla in 2002 so thats how I came across the figures.

Info was picked up from a post on General:

And click on the "Teams" link from the menu on the left hand side of the screen.

Basically all cars claim 300bhp, with some variation in torque.
