    WRC goes Super 2000!

    The FIA is expected to announce that the future of the World Rally Car will be based on Super 2000 machinery alone

    Looks like the Production/S2000 +Kit is dead and buried. This will make it easier manage the rules, since everyone will using the same platform.

    Nothing new actually, it says based on S2000 not that it is an S2000 the way the car is today.

    By this article N4+ is buried, not S2000+.

    Was the N4+ ever in consideration? I think the changes for the GrN car was for the lower class so that they are even with S2000.

    Yes, it was because of Subaru and Mitsubishi based pressure on FIA.

    Ahaa thats news to me, but I know they want weight off the GrN car and simular brakes they have in S2000, that would be good for privateers so they still could get relatively cheep cars in PWRC.

    I understand that Autosport article that such gr.N based WRC cars are burried now.

    But I heared about some gr. N rulle changes as better brake cooling, new turbo homologation and intercooler water spray mounting possibility even without having it on production model...

    If the WMSC ends up with a pure S2000 solution without the posibility for adding the S2000+ kit, do we know if Ford and/or Citroën are willing to accept that?
