Is "self made R5" allowed in BRC ?
or only real R5 ?

http://spencersport.co.uk/mitsubishi-r5/
The Mitsubishi R5 is built precisely to FIA R5 Class specification.
It features a 1620cc engine based on the Mitsubishi 4B11 unit from the Evolution X, connected to a five-speed Sadev transmission and four-wheel-drive system. The car is fitted with MacPherson suspension and Öhlins dampers all round, mated to specially designed subframes.
LHD, RHD and R5+ versions are also available. Details on request.
The Mitsubishi R5 has been manufactured to comply with FIA R5 regulations. However, because it is not currently homologated by the FIA, participation in each country has to be sanctioned by the regions’ motorsport governing body.
A technical document that mirrors a set of homologation papers has been produced and is available for submission for regional approval, as follows:
For the car to run in the appropriate class in national status events within each country
For the car to run in the R5 class in international status events within each country, subject to a local agreement and championship regulations
Spencer Sport and Mpart are able to assist with the eligibility and accreditation process.

Team Skoda Italia Motorsport has 3 Fabia R5 (surpassing BRR with 2 cars)
Spare car or to other driver?
Some rumours about Opel Corsa R5 as a zero-car at rally valais and/or rally Wales GB.
Anyone even seen the car testing?
How can anyone see the car testing if it doesn't exist? So far no real source said that anyone is working on the Corsa R5 in the last year. And for every rumor that's spread, someone else says it's bullshit... ;) The only thing that is sure is that IF Opel develops a more advanced rallycar (be it R5 or even WRC), they have the perfect driver(s) for the project. Would be a shame if they can't use what Bergkvist has to offer.
