Can the admin that closed the Rally2 kit/ R4 thread please tell us why they closed it?
If no good reason, please unlock it again!

Why was the Rally2-Kit news thread closed?

So it seems for now that ERC2 will be left out next year.
So lets see if the Rally2 Kit Suzuki's in 2021 will do good enough to convince ERC to give the car class a cup to fight for in 22.
If not,...

Own class only nationally, as far as I can read the two pyramides.

Agreed, but more to understand the true potential of the Rally2 Kit package.

What is the best driver that has driven these cars in one or more rallies, and what have they said about the package, compared to R5?

The FIA plan is that Rally3 will take over the place that was meant for R4, but underrated the price issue, and class flunked.

How long ago was it FIA went for an overprized kit from Oreca, that formed the basis for the new R4 class, not long.
Now we see cars coming on the market, and 2020 is really the first year that...

New SA i20 R4 from Rally Technic

Another team plans Suzuki R4

Are there any stats on how many kits Oreca have sold per date?

Could a driver build his own car, as the old R4 from Colin Mcrae
1690

Does the shell have to look like a production car, as long as it is safe and secure enough?

Any news on price differences btw the R4 and Proto Micra?

Are ewrc-results.com planning to make a database part for R4?

99% of those watcing will not know the difference. If it looks like a Opel, for them it is an Opel.
The rest are details.

Nobody have bought, but people need to see it, hear it, see results, and feel it.

Osian Pryce debut showed that the concept has potential.

Lets give it some more practical tests in rallies, and...

Not that it matters in the big picture but I got my guestimate on money a bit wrong.

If R4 is made top car class in ERC, the top teams will have to swap car to compete. Simple logic (non)sense ;)

But We need a few more rallies to see how much difference in speed there is btw R4...

The most successful seies outside Wrc lately has been IRC. They took a gamble and went for S2000 as top class. It paid off so well that FIA killed both the car and the series off.

ERC of today has...

ERC should have a R4 class in 2019, maybe call that one ERC2 and the 2wd class ERC3.

Could also make a Under 25 class with R4 cars.

See your point Mirek, but you are lucky coming from a country where rally is big, and business see potential in sponsoring motorsport.

in many countries that is not the case, and up and coming...

Why, if a driver is a huge Ford fan, and want to buy a R4, he should be able to buy one.

For a team planning to do a season in a 4wd its usually about budget.
Budget to buy a car, new or used....

So maybe Tommi will hire a local firm to build him a Yaris R4 now to start off junior drivers there before going to WRC2, and to sell.

Would be good PR for Toyota. Most fans will see a Toyota...

Where in the world does Toyota sell the Etios model?

Rental for gentleman drivers I guess will be even cheaper for R4.

R3 could become this protoclass. If safety is ok, and you have a hp/kg rule, the rest is free.
Or you go the opposite direction....
