Looks like an Opel Corsa R5 indeed...

That explains something. For Rally Finland 2009, all without airbags, they provided every car with temporary licence plates.

Actually, FIA safety regs only require a seatbelt cutter - the small hammer is not mandatory. A small hammer is no use either because for group N and R where the side windows are glass, you have to...

Guessing these carbon fiber specials are expensive vs. the catalogue off the self items on the Hyundais.

By realistic, I mean cars that are part of the championship, proper length stages, stages that are not just loops or variants of the same piece of road like Dirt, etc. It seems the masses think Dirt...

This video is a reflection of the times. The days of realistic games like Colin McRae Rally and such have given way to the Dirt Gymkana s%^t and Need For Speed crazy stuff. It is what the masses...

Does anyone know if the Simpson Hybrid HANS also has the same problem? (link below)

...and Nanadan will be able to leapfrog with a fresh homologation :)

I would not underestimate Michel Nanadan or Hyundai. The Suzuki fiasco was another story. I heard that the SX4 had actually more electronic tricks that any WRC car at the time and that Michel...

I agree. In group N, dampers and gearboxes were free within certain limits (dampers need to bolt onto standard attachments and gearbox kits need to be max 5 gears and fit in the casing). This...

Exactly. There is an interesting interview with Malcolm Wilson on the R5 development. They are forced to use production parts for much of the car. He gave an example that they are using a Porsche...

I do not think the FIA will do this. Cylinder capacity for regulations has always been including multiplication factors. The Metro 6R4 tried to take advantage of this by using a naturally aspirated...

Agreed, but you can CONTAIN costs. R1 is the best thing out of the FIA for a while, maybe for a long time to come too!

The Kickastra Rally Team will combine rally championships on both sides of the Atlantic in 2012 by entering both local events in Barbados and rounds of the Deutsche Rallye Serie (Willkommen bei der...

I think I have it. Its a complete Mitsu WRC engine design with a different piece of cast iron for the block and head modified to adapt Mitsu WRC ancillaries. Mitsu WRC Engine it is then!

The TME had different front bumper for sure - maybe also other slight differences.

EVO 6 TME...

It is a custom built one. It was reportedly built by MML, but definitely not an ex-works car.

Does anyone know if or where it is possible to buy homologated Group N parts (gearkit, ECU, hydraulic handbrake, engine mounts, etc) for the currently homologated Fabia (any of them - the petrol 1.4...

Better late than never - now that Youtube allows videos over 10 mins, we uploaded some of our onboards from our 2009 Rally Finland adventure. Here is the playlist - enjoy!

Correct - restrictions are country specific. Finland for example bans alcohol advertising above a certain % content, UK does not. We ran Carib Beer advertising on our car on Wales Rally GB 06.
