It was quite a privilege to take what I believe is the first ever outright win for the Gt86 CS-R3, insanely tough rally with weather changing on every stage. Tyre choice was a lottery and we were using D-mack for the first time also.
Great event so onwards and upwards...
This coming weekend Rossetti with GT86 against Koči with DS3 R3 Max, JERC drivers and locals. I'm looking forward!
I am sorry to say that this car need 1.6 turbo engine to compete in R3.
it lacks ca 200 NM of torque compared to a DS3 Max.
