The only modifications allowed in the T1 production vehicle class that the MLs are running in, are mainly safety modifications (and a few other things, such as racks for extra tires, tools, etc). Everything else, such as the engine, transmission, electronics (including 4ETS and ESP), differentials, and even the carpeting and wood trim, has to remain stock.
I didn't know that,That mean all the vehicle on the race? ie. Nissan, Mitsu etc.....they are have stock engine. What about the Renault its look like modified.
Vehicles are prepared for and compete in different classes. I believe the Renault runs in the T4 Prototype class, as do many of the Mitsubishis. This means that they are allowed extensive modifications, as well as nightly engine swaps if they wish. No such allowances in the T1 production vehicle class; the whole point of this class is to test the vehicles' durability/reliability as is, as well as the driver's expertise + the team's preparations.
Re: What is their overall standing right now and how many stage to go?? thanks
Blau, overall the MLs are between place 12 and 29. In their class, PRODUCTION 4X4, they are on 2, 4, 5 and 6. The last 5 days were hard, with a sandstorm today and many teams gave up. Only about 30 are still competing. That's Yves Menguy's ML320 in the photo.
