    Do Holzer build the Adam R2 as well?

    Isn't it just like a Prodrive/Subaru MSport/Ford setup?

    Yep, quite a puzzle...Sportmotores has managed to talk to an Opel Motorsport source and it was told this is a project Holzer Motorsport (their R2 partner) has been working on their own and it was now allowed by Opel to be presented, even if there is no confirmation when, and if, it’ll be homologated…

    So it seems the Opel R5 wasn't just a rumor after all. Let's hope the extra time spent was on developing it properly.
    Unless they are just going to show off a concept I wonder how the hell they have managed to develop it away from prying eyes!

    Going back to the Proton Iriz R5.

    Interview with Chris Mellors of MEM in Motorsport News today. He sounds quite confident about the car's chances and it does seem like the backing is there from Proton.

    - They are looking at a moving debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed (final day of June)
    - Targeted January 1st 2018 homologation date
    - Intent to run a factory team in WRC2, and Asia-Pacific. Currently talking to two sponsors.
    - Engine is 1600cc version of Mitsubishi Lancer E10 power unit
    - Xtrac transmission, Reiger dampers, Brembo brakes, Cosworth electronics
    - Available in right and left-hand drive


    Let's see how much of it comes true!
