<< Can't help that.  Nigel Walker of Audi Sport UK took around twenty of us
round 
 the workshop.  Biela's car was built and ready to roll, and they were just
re-
 installing the drive train on Bintcliffe's car.  The lack of a centre 
 differential was the topic of the day, and I reported on it to the list when
I 
 got home.  We were, if you remember, speculating on how they managed.
 Various 
 drive train components were passed round, including a carbon fibre prop
shaft.  
 The diffs were _not_ available for inspection - we could see them quite
clearly 
 over on a "clean bench" about ten yards away.

Well given the fact there is a pot there, and reports of the A4q's having adj
bias on the track would indicate to me that they might be using an electrics
in fluid for viscosity changes.... I remember reading a technical article on
electronic fluid locking diffs, I'll be digging for that puppy now...  If you
use a "standard" viscous diff, then add a coupla 12v wires to control
viscosity, you have adj bias....  Considering most racing diffs (even audis
past programs) are 70/30 to 60/40 rear, I would think you could control the
viscosity fairly easily in a standard diff...  Phil, put on your audi wear,
and get those photos...  :)  The INF (i-net force) will deny of course, any
knowlege of your actions should you be caught
