    Another interesting result of a GT car in France. Nicolas Ciamin and his Abarth were 5th overall in Rallye Rouergue, a round of French rally championship. Interesting fact - Ciamin won stage 6, where he was faster than all R5 cars.

    Final results of RALLYE AVEYRON ROUERGUE 2018:
    1. Quentin Gilbert/Renaud Jamoul (F/B) Skoda Fabia R5 1:58.31,0
    2. Pierre Roché/Martine Roché (F) Skoda Fabia R5 +2,9
    3. Jordan Berfa/Damien Augustin (F) Hyundai i20 R5 +1.08,3
    4. Eric Mauffrey/Kévin Bronner (F) Skoda Fabia R5 +1.53,0
    5. Nicolas Ciamin/Anthony Vilanova (F) Abarth 124 Rally +3.25,2
    6. William Wagner/Kévin Mllet (B/F) Ford Fiesta R5 +4.12,4
    7. Jean-Laurent Chivaydel/Nicolas Capoulade (F) Ford Fiesta R5 +4.34,7
    8. Cédric Robert/Matthieu Duval (F) Renault Clio R3T +6.34,3
    9. Vincent Leduc/Laurence Pelamourgues (F) Hyunsai i20 R5 +6.51,8
    10. Alexis Sirmain/Rémi Nolorgues (F) Peugeot 106 +7.05,5

    Unfortunately his car is not R-GT FIA spec. but otherwise it's of course great to see him setting such result.

    I heard there is no restrictor on that turbo. It's a fast car but mainly a very fast and crazy driver too!

    Any news on new R-GT cars in the pipeline, for instance the new Alpine?

    From France or from anywhere...GT+ regs are public: item 20 on 'Annexe J en cours' https://www.ffsa.org/pages/SecuriteR...eJEnCours.aspx

    Yep, the 124 GT+ is believed to have 30 to 40 hp more. Ciamin is really flying with it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NctzraWDTlE

    Sadly RGT cars are hugely penalized by FIA regs. Abarth was brave and smart enough to develop the 124 Rally for privateers, helping them to buy and run the cars through the Abarth Rally Trophy. It’s a nice effort, but RGT needs a couple more manus doing the same. Maybe Porsche and Alpine will soon realize they can easily adapt the Cayman Clubsport and the A110 GT4 to rally and get a nice profit selling them to eager rally costumers around the world. Fingers crossed!

    Btw, still no more info on Rallye Magazine article (anyone reading the paper version?) but this came out on Dumas fb:



    Apparently Dumas and his team are already testing the RGT Cayman, but there's no clue on Porsche actual involvement.

    We have started earlier this week the development of the Porsche Cayman #RGT. 3 good days of work @PoleMecanique. We will do more testing soon, before going to #RallyeDeutschland in August with #RDLimited as operating team. More to come.

    Some more info from the Rallye-Magazin print version:

    -Dr. Frank-Steffen Walliser (head of Porsche-Motorsport) is a huge rally fan, has always looked with favor upon the success of Porsche cars in Spain, Germany etc.
    -Walliser has officially delegated Mr. Hermann-Josef Steinmetz (project manager for Porsche race cars) to find a base model for a rally car
    -The car is based on the Porsche Cayman GT4 Clubsport (385 hp), the roll cage had to be changed, the suspension and trailing arms are reinforced and a sump guard was installed (that's pretty much everything which was changed)
    -There will only be an asphalt version of the car
    -They will most likely use the gearbox from the production car (six-gear PDK transmission)
    -The weight is 1420 kg, that's due to the FIA-requirements (power-to-weight ratio has to be at least 3,4 kg / hp), they didn't want to reduce the number of horsepowers
    -There were talks with the FIA to reduce the power-to-weight ratio to make the car more competitive, but until now the FIA wasn't willing to change anything
    -They expect to be able to beat R5 cars under ideal conditions

    So despite the car is entered by Dumas´team it seems to be an official Porsche project. At least the Cayman was built in Weissach and has the official blessing of Porsche.
