Rally2 (ex-R5) News

The first "prototype" of Peugeot was scheduled to be shown this month, however with all the delays I dont think we will see it for awhile.

Maybe at the press days of the Mondial de l'Auto in Paris

But if all three have buildt cars and have been testing, where are the pictures and films?
Skoda had a perfect way of doing it when they developed the S2000 car a few years back?
Have anyone seen the new cars or pictures of them or is all a secret?

I haven't said they already built a car (maybe they did but I don't know). I said they have been working on development for several months (I'm pretty sure about that). Anyway it is possible to keep tests secret till some phase when You need to start changing a lot of testing locations.

Does that look like a silhouette of a DS3? Same chasis? (forgive me I am going off of pictures and my visit to Rally San Remo last year, we have neither Citroen or Peugeot here in the states)

Peugeot R5 to be unveiled in Paris

No we have just to wait and see what’s coming.

Think that if they do allow R5 cars have more power, I imagine it will be to make up for not have a sixth gear & even it up somewhat between R5 & RRC

This is the drawback to have two similar threads in two different sub forums (European & WRC). I’ve should have post on the R5 News instead of R-Classes News but at that time I didn’t remember that a R5 News thread exists.

3000kms must be about engine which is feasible.
