A popular misconseption, the world car was homologated with both active and passive fronts diffs and both 6spd double H pattern FFD box and sequential Xtrac box, the latter is a superior box, they are however fairly impractical to run unless you have pockets the size of Malcolm Wilson.

lol,

i hired Tim's Evo 6 for grizedale last year, only ever saw a couple of pics of the car, they had it scrutineered and was put away in the trailer till the day of the event, opened the trailer on the sat and thought 'fook me, it left hand drive '

to be honoust i loved it, found it so much nicer to drive than a rhd, it all just seamed so natural.
