Re: audi and rally'ing

[Dave Eaton <dave.eaton@minedu.govt.nz>]

oh man, here we go again...

the s1 was last used to the group 'b' rules in 1985.  we know that audi
rally'ed with the s1/torsen at least at the san remo, as they'd be able to
homologate the torsen with the "evolution" (20-off) provision of the group "b"
rules (sport quatro --> s1 (evo)).

the other rally's were undertaken to the group "a" rules where audi, unless
they were cheating, *had* to use the torsen on the cars homologated (25,000
examples) with them.

therefore we can safely say that the torsen was on all these 1986 group 'a'
cars, unless audi was cheating.

over to you, scott.
