    Jörg Schrott, director of Opel Motorsport Europe, in AutoHebdo :
    he is pleased with the french cup, which is strongest (in his point of view) as the german. He said this cup will be extend to some other countries : Italy, Switzerland, or Belgium.
    He said too Opel will develop a real Adam R2, with 50 hp more, able to fight with the best R2.
    They could not do a R3 and directly do a Corsa R5, developped in 2014 and first official race in 2015 !
    They have a plan on ten years, as Ford or PSA, with cars from the smallest to the biggest, with national cups and international series.

    I think manufacturers will get involved when R5 is phased in and current world rally car and RRC is phased out.

    Will be interesting to see when this happens as Hyundai are just stepping in with a world rally car, yet rumours say the world rally car category could be phased out with R5 becoming the top category.

    Who knows? only the FIA know.

    I'm quite sure that Hyundai already knows the rules for WRC that will start in 2015 (or at least "the bigger lines"), since they are already working on the development of the car.

    What is the rules on R5 cars for parts?

    Like the Fiesta R5 for example, it has a Porsche sensor (£16), Audi intercooler, radiator from a Ford Edge.

    For replacements, can you self source directly from Porsche, Audi, Ford USA etc? or do you have to go to M Sport for the production part (at an inflated price) as it will be 'stamped' with an M Sport serial number?
