I watched the video yesterday on full screen and tried to get clear of the speedometer. The speedometer is so bright that’s difficult but imo I saw 179 km/h at some stage. I’m far from sure though.
I haven’t forgot that WRC/RRC are cars built based on S2000 regulations. In the case where I said the amount of different parts of R5 should be compared to the Fiesta S2000 I meant the Fiesta S2000 NA. As Loriaux said there aren’t many parts common between the Fiesta WRC and the Fiesta S2000 NA although they’re both built by the same regulations. Evolutions of parts as you said Mirek.Quote:

M-Sport confirms it is building a Ford Fiesta R5 car - WRC news - AUTOSPORT.com
“The R5 will be based on the 1.6 turbo Fiesta ST road car and use a lot of the design knowledge and experience generated from the S2000 and the World Rally Car. At the same time, it will be a new car with new engine, transmission, roll cage, fuel tank, electronics, all complying with the strict FIA regulations on design and costs.”
Imo the best way to control the prices of cars and spare parts would be to obligate the companies to put the prices on their websites as it would be more transparent.
