This week Cherain, Basso and Kajto have tested each a full day with the Fiesta R5 Evo 2

http://www.autonews-magazine.com/blog/?p=44169 Some article (in French). Cherain, who drove a DS3 R5 the last season, and a Fiesta R5 the year before, said he thinks the new Fiesta R5 will quickly prove to be superior to the PSA R5's. Cherain tested some 170kms. His program for next year should be revealed in January, nothing is officially known yet. It's no secret that Cherain would like to compete in ERC.

I think that Ricardo is saying it every year...

Not with this relevance. The portuguese championship finished with many many ghosts. He lost the tittle cause dust in one rally and and a puncture of Meireles in last round. Many believe on team tactics by Sports and You team. So, maybe this time is for real. I hope at least that he goes to Canarias like some years ago.

The gosts were only in some minds,a puncture is a puncture, and the question about the dust is ridiculous...The problem with Ricardo is that everytime that he loses he find some excuses...Hope he can get is international program,something that he is trying every year

Fiesta R5 phase2 looks to be really big improvement, mostly in engine area. Car is really faster!
Citroen plans to do updates in March, new cooling package (radiator, intercooler), some small changes in engine (rocker arms, etc), also different power steering.

polo10 i agree. I only write what happen, not my opinion.

Yes, a friend told me that the "new" Fiesta is a canon ball

I must have missed Evo 1, what and when was that?

So if I had an original Fiesta R5 and wanted to update to the latest spec, how much would that cost me?

Moura said an international program has never been a priority as it came to be now.
The events of the last Portuguese championship, can they have led to this change of priotidades.
