Rossel had the new part and had the usual sound on his Monte PET. Looks like other updates will have to come that change the sound. :D

Maybe it was discussed, but it seems that the 2024 evo for the C3 contains a reworked turbo/intercooler/exhaust area, which could explain the slightly different sound of the car:...

His feedback if nothing else can be valuable. I have heard that the new i20 is more of a neutral and driver friendly car than the previous one, dont know if that is correct though. Having a high...

Maybe they could get their hands on this the fastest. Also, some drivers like the Evo version less than this one due to different handling, so getting the universally more liked car might be a better...

Without someone actually demonstrating the effects of those upgrades (and all the Fiesta regulars departing to other cars isn't doing that for me), they won't believe they work. It is very difficult...

Both Peugeot and Fiat/Abarth/Lancia would be viable options, but they've been very quiet about this lately...

BTW, do we have any info where PSA/Stellantis is planning to go on the Rally2 front? The C3 is nearing the end of its lifespan, but no news on the successor, or at least I didn't come across it.

I think sure, Stellantis have more marques to choose from, if I remember well, some time back there were rumours of them switching the Rally2 programme to Opel. And aside from the above mentioned 2,...

I think Citroën will have updates, but it will be the last "full" year for the C3, as if I remember well, for 2023 there should be a new car.

Yes, he was down on power, which got worse as the rally progressed, but he was lucky he could even finish unlike some weeks before that in Romania.

Meanwhile, Gryazin is supposedly testing C3:...

Looks like they changed the intercooler and radiator arrangement (from vertical to horizontal), of course this can change during further development.

Yes, driven both of them.

In 2017, Famin said there will be one from it, but it might have changed since then. There will be an R2 from it at least, but I think R5 as well.

There was an interview with Tamás Tagai, owner of TRT Europe about their new C3 R5. He said that the main advantage of this car (and other PSA R5s) is the easy serviceability compared to the Fiesta...

New C3 R5 to Tagai Racing Technology:...

I think Bruno Famin (and also a couple others here) have said that they are working on it, so I would assume it is only a matter of time. However, about two years ago he also said that they will...

They did, and claimed that the new parts made the car faster by 0.5-0.8s/km IIRC.

Bonato had to retire due to mechanical problems before the first stage in Rouergue.

Yes, not many technical problems so far, I meant that hopefully it will stay that way. ;)
There were some problems, like Fontes electrical problem before Portugal, and I couldn't find anything why...

Looks like Bonato had to retire as well with a mechanical problem yesterday. Hopefully this won't be the norm for the C3...

Difficult to say. They have been testing there a lot, so they should have good setups for both Bonato and Lefebvre. I really want that car to be good, and hopefully it will be, but for now I'd say it...

Maybe br21 has more info on that, but I think new 208 road car will be presented later this year, and Famin said a year ago that they intend to do an R5 car from it, so if that's still the plan, I...
