Rally2 (ex-R5) News

[RS]

The Peugeot sounds a lot better than the Ford but it is still lacking some low down aggression in sound and performance. Still no anti-lag?

The rules for R5 don't allow direct by-pass of air to the exhaust. That limits the anti-lag function because all air must go through engine throttle valve.

How come the test Fabia seems to have it then?

That can be answered only by somebody who knows what was exactly in the car on the video...

Hmmm, I suppose you are suggesting it was an engine from the RRC/WRC development car tuned to replicate the power of an R5 engine?

Would be a shame if it doesn't have these sounds. Both the 208 and Fiesta are a little too "soft" for my liking.

Some people say there has been (at least) one prototype of Fabia II WRC/RRC developed in 2011.And as RS said, it could be that "old" prototype.

The car did exist for sure.

And as RS said, it could be that "old" prototype.

Hard to say but I don't think so.

Rumours say that there will be at least another Fiesta R5 in Paraguay.
Besides that, there's a driver in Brazil that will probably buy a R5 soon. Last rumours says that there will be 2 R5 in Brazil in 2014.[/quote:7wdusn65]

Maybe VW leant Skoda a Polo WRC engine in exchange for Skoda lending them two Fabia S2000 last year

I think it is for Itor Galeano, in Paraguay.
