The car in the pic is somewhat funny looking, but the differences made me think of early pre production model maybe?

The RS200 was pure 1980's brilliance, not 1990's. And it shone so bright it was one of the cars that lead to the end of the group B, even before the car was properly developed.

It also gave another win at Le Mans for the 962 after years of being gone.
Plus I remember it having air con and leather seats.

Tom should have gotten a few more lessons from twin brother Tim.

Actually it has been mandatory for years to have a special gps rented from the organizers which is locked and unusable. You can insert a code to unlock it and get the track but then you also get a time penalty for using the gps.
Also since moving from Africa to South America the time spent without seeing anyone has…

I was looking at the side windows too.
I think the tiny glass might be fixed and the large slides down, with the cut allowing for the space for the door lock maybe?

There is stretching to the absolute limit to the rules, there is finding an edge no one else thought of and then there is cheating.
Not all of the given examples of other teams "cheating" are cheating - Renault's tuned mass damper has been used in skyscrapers and in archery for decades and there is no reason to be…

Steering wheel placement. The Japanese and Brits still haven't learned how to put the steering wheel correctly.

To me it looks like they went an extra length to avoid what happened years ago with the initial Mercedes A Class.
Even considering the possibility of crashing into a car coming the other way, which is better: to hit head on using the most sophisticated crumple zone the car has and the highest volume airbags, ideal use…

Most of the engine isn't in front of the wheels. All of it is.
Even the flywheel is in front of the front axle.

It is broken, so they have to fix it. The question is will they make it better, or just make it different, possibly worse?
It needs tweeking, mainly making it modern, but auto groups usually seem to believe the way to make something modern isn't just update brakes, suspension and engine but to make it look like every…

You have no idea what you are writing about.
Just the input in engine technology from Fiat is enough to bring Chrysler from the 1950's to the 21st century.
