Default 4.4 diff ratio's

Anyone here used 4.4 ratio diffs on track?

Most rally cars are higher than 3.6/3.9 and I know there are a lot of Tarmac stages so what's your opinions?

Cheers

4.4 will be fine on most tracks if you've got a higher than standard rev limit.

depending on your tyre size you will be up to around 150mph at 8k rpm
