Rally2 (ex-R5) News

I don't think that that the turbo engine would be lighter than the atmospheric one (with all accessories). For significant change of balance there would have to be huge difference not just few kilos...

Are we sure this is from this week? It doesn't look like November to me..

I think this video is from pre-Ypres test from June. Definitely not new.

you are right,old tests 208 had a total logo on bonnet,new tests are without the total logo.

Not just the weather, Paul Nagle was co-driving too.

Anybody know who was co-driving on Meeke's test?

some guys dyno tested Fiesta R5... thay said around 300hp and 400nm...
I can't say it's true, just what I heard from quite reliable source.

br21 i will be glad if you could ask about the low down torque.Also about the antilag system.

I will have such car in my hands in mid December, so then will know much more. As for now I know there are 2 or 3 levels of anti-lag in Fiesta.

Google translate is horrible here! I have already read this elsewhere a few days ago. FIA screwed up once again by messing around with whatever we start feeling comfortable with.
Also R4 is suppose to be cancelled from next year isn't it? Will they make R3->R2 or leave a gap there?
