If Andreucci won't win the title in Italy or Riedemann in Germany, then most likely so.

That's an AP4 car.

Similar to cars built in NZ by Force Motorsport. The class is designed for the niche created between R5 and group N in the Asia Pacific area.
Other cars designed for the class but not yet compliant are :
Hyundai i20 AP4 - http://nzrallycars.weebly.com/jsl191.html
Mazda 2 AP4 - http://nzrallycars.weebly.com/htq248.html
Also the Inky Skoda AP4+

And GM Barinas under construction

The main advantage from AP4 rules (like those of MR or N5) is to allow private teams to build and homologate competitive rally cars at more affordable prices. This way the sport doesn’t get hostage of manus lack of interest and rally costumers can get a wider and cheaper choice.
It’s a shame that in Europe cars like the Mirage R5 (and probably MEM’s future Iriz R5) won’t be allowed to run alongside similar cars made by manus tuners, simply because they’re not official projects.
Eventually, Sarrazin entered Pays de Fayence Rally only as a 0 car. Homologation issues or team option?

Yes, what a disappointment.

Is Toyota working for a R5 project now?
