He says in the video that this isn't test for Eger but to learn the car as Eger is different than this road (quite obviously). Eger will be the first rally for him. As a bonus watch the smile of the co-driver on onboards

With 911's being severely restricted (the only remaining Porsche driver is Burgo), the R5 fever is now starting on Spain tarmac championship (CERA). Besides RMC Fiesta's (Ares, Aguado and Perez), former Porsche champion Sergio Vallejo announced his comeback to the series on a DS3 (from portuguese Sports&You team). ARVidal has one Fabia available to rent.

Mitsubishi (throught RMC) is backing GrN+ (36mm R4 with seq gearbox) drivers Garcia (Canarias winner) and Monarri. ARVidal is running 2 Swift S1600 for Suzuki. The 2 top spanish tuners are also developing N5 (MR) cars, but regs were'nt still closed by RFEA.

Like I’ve said in another topic, Gt’s should be restricted but there was no need to undermine them this way.

CERA it’s a long and expensive series and R5’s running costs almost double 911’s. It won’t be easy to get the same number of regular title contenders as past years. Let’s wait and hope for the best.
