Have they now gotten all the parts needed to get a couple of testcars put together?

Ok perfect.
I was just comparing with Skodas project plan with S2000, R5 and Rally2. Lots of testing with many drivers on all conditions, to get a car that is easy to get adapted to most driving styles.
8-9 months goes fast, and then get ready to homologation with late adjustments.
But I guess everyone feels the corona + Russia invation + shipping on the log situation, and will delay.
June 1, no tests from Renault so far
Any news on when
maybe after summer now
they test
Very impressive pace by Virves in Rally Poland!
The car is showing its potential. Would be cool to see it with 32mm restrictor, but maybe then you will challenge reliability, and cost control.
They started their tests program in May or beginning of June, not sure. After a first run in Monthléry track, they moved to Château-Lastour to test on gravel with Jean-Sébastien Vigion & Andrea Crugnola. They are at the start on 8/9 intensive testing before homologation. They were happy with their first runs.
Next tests should have been on gravel too, in the Vosges.

Sarrazin, Bouffier, Guigou tested the Rally4 Clio outside of Vigion and the usual Renault/Alpine drivers, so I think some/all will be drafted in for this one as well.
