Put the same engine in both cars and which do you think would be quicker around a track? If it isn't why to the rally teams spend all that money on development
However
I will just point out that I think Martin has a fully active Centre Diff, just not front and rears... Stian's car is the best Cossie in the world IMHO!

Regarding to an x-WRC car fancy should ALWAYS be effective! If not it dead-weight.. I thing Stian tought about converting to conventional diffs to make it easyer to drive sideways

He did some really clean laps during "gatebil extreem series" couple of years ago, when he went against the fastest norwegian cars of all makes, the car in 2nd place was almost one straight behind!

He also did one outing in Norwegian hillclimbchampionship with the escort, an event called "Korketrekkeren".
He did win the whole event and set a new record for the hill, even thoug he was driving on roadtires the first day of the event, due to problems with delivery of his slicks!
Roger Bakken who was in the very top of norwegian rallying that year came second in his celica gt4 group A. Where Bakken did really clean, smooth lines, Hafsengen was going sideways with smoke comming out of all 4 wheelwells and he still won!

Wasn't Stian's car set up to run 30% on front and 70% in the rear, hence why his perfect drifting was achieved???
He has actually bought the MK6 Fiesta rally shell, so should be quite interesting. Those cars seem to be the phase lately...
Ove with the 800bhp EVO 6 has done better laps than Stian, I don't think Stian can help being a showman when he's in his car...has to drift!
Quality!

And getting an engineer or trying different diff maps cost alot of money.
while if he had been using mechanical diffs he probably could have a more likeable setup done by himself.
