This would be nice.

“The stages consist of fast and flowing gravel, opening up the possibility of a return to the legendary Kielder stages in Cumbria.”

Next week M-Sport wil reveil details about the Fiesta Regional Rally Car. The S1600T RCC will much like the Fiesta S2000, with a smaller wing then the WRCar. And probarly a smaller restrictor (30mm >33mm) ? Patrick Snijers claimed that his Mini Countryman S1600T had less hp. so his version was a RCC ?

Basically it’s the same car as the WRC Fiesta except smaller rear wing, different front buffer, heavier fly wheel, different front brakes and a smaller restrictor which is 30 mm diameter at the moment.
I don’t know if the fly wheel is actually different in WRC and RCC because it would be a quite big job to replace the fly wheel when switching between WRC and RCC.
Ford would be then the first brand with both S2000 NA and S1600T cars.“Don’t eat the yellow snow” Frank Zappa

A few weeks ago Iw as watching the news and there was a story about the rally zn getting more funding and keeping its base in Auckland city. It was also interesting was that Hayden Paddon was interviewed and he said it may be possible for him to drive a round of the wrc next year in a full spec wrc car. what made this story even more interesting was that clips of the mini testing were also shown....

Good for him.
M-Sport/ Ford have been testing using a 'simulator' in the USA. They say its helped improve the Puma Rally1 car, especially for tarmac. Does anyone know what this simulator could be like ? Story...
