Thanks
to Michelin’s ‘Sweden Spikes’ and according to the Volkswagen team, the grip
generated by the World Rally Cars is greater on the ice and snow of Rally
Sweden than it is on a typical gravel rally.
Last year the three Polo R WRCs
took an average 124.87 metres to accelerate from nought to 100 km/h at the
start of each stage at the Rally Argentina. In contrast, it took an average of
just 107.32 metres to hit the same speed on the early tests on the first full
day of rallying. Just thought you’d be interested, hmmm?
