Sorry for a bit of OT, but maybe there is some more info about this Suzuki Swift Maxi 2000 EVO car? some tech. specs. or something?

It could depend on Latvala's performance this year. Other two very fast and still improving, and hard to believe that Toyota could sack them.

Why not, testing upgraded version in old body, and then put into new one, and start developing 2gen 208 from more advanced level.

The intake, exhaust, turbo, cooling etc. are replaceable parts, it could be optimized as needed, but engine block is main part, part where you start. if you get "wrong" block, you can optimize it...

Well that engine from OPC is very powerful, downsized it still could be powerful and reliable. Wonder what engine Holzer used in Opel R5.

I hope that true; Multiple times Lithuania champion Vytautas Švedas has Lithuania's VW, Audi, Seat dealers backing and hoping eventually he will drive Polo R5 to rally stages.

Do you know criteria they use to choose customers?

It's relatively small numbers, I think; for example Škoda's 70th chassis started in Rally Portugal 2016 - one year after homologation. In two years (1 and half actually) they build around 100 cars...

I don't understand why you seem surprised about these stats? Škoda is a bit better than Ford (quite small margin), everyone know PSA R5 is (at least was) rubbish, I20 relatively new car with possibly...

We could see from different point of view: They have knowledge form S2000, WRC, R5 programs, using that building car in other platform than Fabia R5 with low resources (while Fabia R5 is relatively...

Yes, we should, but in this case 14 R5's without FIA homoogation is nothing against 605 R5's with FIA homologation.

What about S2000 cars? It's only few years while R5's take lead, and S2000...

MItsubishi R5 even non homologated found it's place in Sweden, Finland, UK. Is there possibility that Opel R5 might be used in DE, or other countries? Is there class to run non homologated R5 spec...

Škoda without Ogier always doing fine, so I'm calm about it ;)

Worse scenarios than this, would be disaster for sport

In the worst case scenario maybe it could turn into something like Mitsubishi R5 project - only for national use

Maybe Abbring lacks of some kind of "engineering thinking"...

Yes he is

Maybe remember Lithuanian name?

PSA has two R5's, why VAG can't do that?
