Fiat WRC Car!!!
I was just browsing another Rally Forum over the last few days while this one was getting updated and came acoss this.
Apologies if this has been discussed before but it sounds very exciting.

The last paragraph is what I'm referring to in particular. It reads...
'However, as the plans for Fiat’s ambitious 2007 rally programme become clearer, news emerges that the carmaker is targeting nothing less than a return to a fully-fledged FIA World Rally Championship programme. Claudio Berro, currently responsible for the Fiat rally operation, revealed to Autosprint magazine that if the Super2000 regulations are not eventually adopted for the premier series, then Fiat will propose building a full WRC-specification machine, capable of taking their challenge right to the front. “A World Car Rally version of the Grande Punto will depend on the evolution of the regulations,” Berro recently told the magazine.'
Thanks to Martini Lancia for finding this on the other forum.

I can't see a Punto WRC for a good few yrs yet, they want a stab at S2000 first, if it's succesful then they prob would upgrade to WRC status, but if not, cant see them wasting money on the top flight if they can't cut it with the S2000 boys..
Time will tell lol

I wouldn't be surprised if they made the Fiat 500x a WRC class car.

There is the Fiat 124 that might be a GT class rally car. Something for Fiat to have a low key rally participation with.

are you doing this on purpose ?
It was on qualifying stage, he rolled the car and it was said that he won't be able to start the rally. But team managed to repair the car and he did start and dominated drivers like Rossel, Gryazin...
