I like it...What Spec? N3?

[Jaanus]

The spec is R3 the new FIA rally class.
It has a 2 litre engine just like the group N car, but it has more group A parts. It should be as fast as an s1600 car, but less expencive.

fwd???

Yes, the new R3 class is for FWD cars with two-litre engines. You can read more about this car here:

And if ou take a look at the current results of Rally Norway, you will see that the leader of JRC is Patrick Sandell. He is driving a car of the same class - Renault Clio R3. Does anybody know if any photos of Sandell's car are available?

Good to hear its an R class car....however i still think that R class cars are slower than s1600 or must be driven by a guy like meeke to be able to pass the s1600 cars...sandell was leading after wilks slowed the s1600 cars.
