Can I reserve one back seat? :D
Regarding the engine for Toyota. I thought even Skoda used quite different engine (like 1,8 TSI for chinese market only, or something like that because I donīt remember well...EDIT: I am right:"They chose the 1.8-liter, 123 kW EA 888 engine, produced in Shanghai, China" ) as base engine for R5. ...Donīt tell me Toyota doesnīt have anything like that anywhere in the world.
They don't. Toyota doesn't produce any turbocharged engines in the suitable volume range 1.6-2.0 except one which is special engine operating in Atkinson't cycle, i.e. it is suitable as a range extender for hybrid cars but not as a base for racing engine because Atkinson's cycle sacrifices power per volume for fuel efficiency.
EA888 is codename for all recent 1.8TSI engines (whole family is designed by Audi). Chinese variants are somewhat modified compared to European ones but it's not different engine, just a modification of the same one as in Europe.
My guess Toyota in their conservative way are testing the waters with the Gazoo Yaris - 1.8 litre supercharged engine. 400 editions to seed the market for a hot hatch yaris road car.
The body is changing? for the 2019 Yaris so there is little point of doing R5 for one year of the current yaris?

So perhaps bigger volume of new model supercharged Yaris in 2019 and sprinkle them between Asia and Europe, then consider R5 model?
NZ AP4 1600cc Yaris runs 2ZR engine destroked from 1.8 litres. Australian AP4 runs 2zz-ge engine.
R5 VW Polo coming along just in time to torpedo the new C3 R5... poor old Citroen. ;)
So are there any changes to R5 rules in 2018 or not?
I know paddle shift was cancelled but I haven’t seen FIA say anything else.
Thanks, so current rules were confirmed for another two seasons?
No bigger restrictor then either..
Sorry if I missed this info if its already been given, but is there any news on the Mk8 Fiesta R5 ?
