Sorry, my bad, I went back and edited to add that example and forgot to update the adjective.


Surprised that "July" is considered a delay for the Fiesta R5, that's the only date I've heard...

From results, it seems similar. Seems to work very well on French tarmac (Bonato in France, Lefebvre in Condroz) and certain conditions but when it's outside that window (wet mud, snow) it struggles....

If my German translation is correct, it doesn't sound like Hyundai are ready to write off their i20 R5 just yet:...

Thanks for the correction guys, always happy to learn!

It's nice seeing how many of these Polo sales have been to customers who don't already own other R5s. If I'm correct, Meireles has only rented cars from TokSport for the last couple of years?

a) all R5s cost basically the same
b) I have a Seat, the VW has much better quality interior, build and trim

Let's just enjoy a bit more variety when spectating.

Bentley, Porsche, Lamborghini...

https://www.rallye-magazin.de/wrc/artikel/d/2018/11/25/solberg-legt-sich-polo-r5-zu-und-plant-einsaetze/ < if I read correctly Petter Solberg has bought the Polo he used in Spain?

Was expected, but Johan Kristoffersen will be doing an event or more this winter in the Polo R5 his family team now owns. Hopefully he does a few rounds next year in various series too.

OK, the Polo sounds a little bit better than the Skoda at least...

4.5/10 for noise

Looks VERY planted on the tarmac sectors of Catalunya shakedown.

Was thinking the same, although it wouldn't surprise me if Tidemand went in circles around Lefebvre if they were in the same car...

I think he meant that the worst case scenario is that you will never see or hear of the car again and it will fade into obscurity.

As an aside, I find it amusing with the Mitsubishi that they have...

Does seem that he's in danger of being another Sepp Weigand but as itix says, I think one of those sponsors is Citroen, so he's unlikely to change. In theory he's a development driver too, so maybe...

I think the only fans that care are us sad folk on here (and I use that endearingly!).

R1 - R5 is plenty clear enough to understand IMO.

Even as a rebodied 208 / Citroen?

You might want to let them know they have four competing brands in GT3 then. And stop them introducing the announced Audi customer programme joining Seat and VW in TCR and soon-to-be-announced Audi...

A) That's VW's press release, so definitely true

and

B) No it doesn't (it might, but certainly not definitive)

Erm, didn't see that coming:

VW Polo R5, coming soon.
...

18 R5s/S2000s so far entered for first round of the British championship. Admittedly, 14-15 of those are Fiestas.....

And they sound much, much better.....

Are they new ones or upgrades to existing ones?

Oh, wow, that's it? Guess PRA is over then and that's the cheapest way to fulfill some promises, guessing one of Suarez's rounds will be Spain?

Sorry, hadn't seen the PR.

Must have arrived at the same conclusions that Skoda did. With no competition, they can only lose (like this year).

Meanwhile, they can still choose a few select events if they want to, and they...

Part of their WRC homologation process for a couple of years, there had to be an RRC version - it was originally intended as the S2000 replacement before R5 came along to fix it, IIRC.

If you find Colin Clark's Periscope there's an excellent 360 of both cars

Something weird looking about it, it looks like a toy - might just be the paint scheme on it.

Either way, looking forward to seeing it on stages, nice to have it officially confirmed at last.
