Mitäs eroa noissa 2011 vs. 2012 spekseissä sitten on? Ja täytyykö kaikkien yksityiskuskienkin sitten pakosti päivittää autonsa uusiin spekseihin (ja maksaa siitä hyvästä miljoonan) :nope:
Tuskin niissä mitään eroa on, mutta sääntöjen mukaan WRC-autot on luokiteltava joka vuosi uudelleen. Koskee kaikkia WRC-autoja.
Tässä oleelliset kohdat säännöistä. Tulkinnat ovat omiani, joten voin tietenkin olla väärässä.
