That's a fair point: if the weight distribution is similar to the WRCar then I guess a lot more of the data accumulated from the WRC team will be usable.
Not sure how relevant it really is in rallycross, but VW Motorsport (and Hoonigan/M-Sport), must have quite a lot of accumulated data on aero as well.
