Besides the balls, they’ll likely need a bit more €ncouragement from Proton…

It could be, as the road C3 got a facelift (named Phase II) a couple of months ago. Anyway, the R5 version has been constantly improved although PSA Sport is not using the Evo badge every time they...

That would be great but the program seems to be underfunded since the beginning. Proton is still recovering from a serious crisis, which forced them to let Geely get a 49.9% stake and lead the...

They've failled with the WRC but they're doing a good job with the R5. Congrats Citroen Racing!

Heavy crash, glad no one’s hurt. Better luck for the crew and MSport on the next rally.

You’re right, Campedelli’s P2 at Rome was also a bit lucky, althought he managed to show top speed on other CIR events.

Anyway, the car was homologated more than one year ago (July 1, 2019) so it...

Nope, the car has been underperforming in most rally series. Apart Greensmith lucky win in Turkey or Campedelli's P2 in Rome, do you remember any other top scores from a Mk II Fiesta?

What’s wrong with the Mk II Fiesta? No matter who’s driving it, it seems the car can't match its rivals pace. Is it an engine or a chassis problem? Will MSport homologate Jokers any time soon?

Yep, huge congrats to Lopez, Rozada and Sports&You. Amazingly, they didn’t plan to enter the spanish tarmac series as their main focus is the new mixed championship (SCER).

Btw, Sports&You its...

Important wins in France and Spain for the C3 R5 during last weekend: Bonato won Rallye Couer de France on a close figth with the current series leader Rossel (also on a C3); Lopez won Rally Villa de...

How did it go?

Yep, but Ostberg (and the C3) performance in Sweden is a bit hard to judge; in the first loop he was actually fast but all his WRC2 Pro opponents were soon in trouble and there was no need to keep...

For sure, but what’s the point of being overcritical in a public way, damaging the C3 image over potencial costumers? After Lukyanuk performance in Azores, should we still believe that the car has...

He could moan all rally long and cruise the car till the end, like Ostberg did in Sweden, but he braverly managed to show the car is fast, dominating the event until the brake faillure.

More than...

Lukyanuk also wasn’t at ease with the C3 before Azores Rally, but instead asking to change the whole car he changed his driving style and succed to be fast. That’s the approach of a champ.

You’re probably right about PSA doing the same; each group brand has his design team and above them there’s a PSA styling director (Jean Pierre Ploué).

Apparently the small window of a optimal use explanation was only valid for the WRC car. The R5 suffered from some minor reliability issues but it looked competitive in all surfaces, although it was...

Thanks for the link. It seems PSA future strategy isn’t totally decided and it may evolve according to EU future rules. I still can’t get how they’ll launch the 208 without a top ICE version,...

Can you put a link? It's really hard to believe they won't get a ICE Gti version.

Is it? The 208 EV expected in Geneva is a basic version based on the DS3 Crossback power train; for now this eGti talk (would it still be named Gti?) is just a rumour. Besides, there’s no sport...

Some extra info then: like Andre said, Pedro Meireles has always owned the cars he runs, althouhg he usually outsources other teams to service them during events or tests; through the last decade he...

Nice onboard of Breen’s first outing (and win) on a C3 R5; it seems he had a good time: lots of waving to spectators and no stress on Tamara’s small mistakes. Video by Ferrario: ...

More news (by Mr. Holmes) of the Iriz R5 on the last Autosport.pt issue: homologation still likely to happen on 1st January, but the first rally will only be in May (Whangarei, APRC 2nd round); it...

No sorry needed; for sure you’ll soon know. Btw, the car looks great imo; just hope it wont be too strong for the competition...
