Citroen Junior Team driver Kimi Raikkonen made a dramatic exit from the opening day of Rally Bulgaria, crashing his C4 World Rally Car out of fourth place on Friday's final stage.
The Formula One star was 19.5km into the repeated Belmen Lake stage when his car left the road. Kimi and his co-driver Kaj Lindstrom were uninjured in the accident.
Emergency vehicles were despatched to the scene, and cars behind Raikkonen were yellow flagged and completed the stage at slow speed.
Before the incident, Sebastien Loeb wrapped up a perfect opening day on Rally Bulgaria by setting the fastest time though SS4 and completing a clean sweep of stage wins. 😩😩😩😩
The system appears to be connected to the engine air feed. I wonder if they're using the engine airbox pressure differential to switch it (or at least involve it in some way). There will be a big internal pressure difference in the engine airbox when at full chat compared to under braking. Perhaps the RB switches modes accordingly, or maybe they just dump the excess engine air (during overrun e.g. during braking) in to the wing system in order to reduce the effect of air box overspill on the rear wing and also help reduce CofP migration forwards under braking (resulting in a more stable car)
