@@sundaydulu7817 yes they do. When they drive between stages (yes, they drive themselves to the stage), the car is on normal (aka civilized) mode. It's easier for them to oblige to the traffic rules. And I don't mean just with speed, but easier driving at lover speed/start-stop situations too. On race mode gearbox is so agressive that if they would start the car with less than half of gas, engine would stal...

Forgot the bloody sound. Look at how fast they fuckin disappear and take that corner. Even if you have been watching rally for years you are always amazed like it’s the first time.
I watched launches in rally finland 2018 and can say that 5 meters away from the cars and the sound fucking hurts....must plug ears after 2 or 3 cars...super loud. Toyota was loudest of them all
Anti Lag System (ALS). The anti-lag system (ALS) is a method of reducing turbo lag or effective compression used on turbocharged engines to minimize turbo lag on racing or performance cars
To break it down a bit, when the driver takes his foot off of the throttle there are less exhaust gasses to keep the turbo spinning and the turbine could slow down. To prevent this happening we developed an anti-lag system to keep the turbine spinning - and it's this pressured system that makes the whistling or chirping noise on deceleration.
