RRC vs S2000 NA
Ye ye, naming convention on the 1,6T 30mm we have been thru this before, and my opinion is clear, call that type RRC, that up till now is the best name
Anyway, Corsica will be the first real test btw S2000 and RRCars with top drivers handeling them in a top series I think. Will be very interesting to see the result. If the RRC shows that it is way faster, more of them will maybe come. And since the S2000 is a beast easier to mess up in, due to the NA and narrow powerband, the RRC might be easier for the 2nd tier drivers to do a good result in.
Lets see !!
What are your predictions: what is the faster car?

Check out the interview in this week's MotorsportMonday.com (edition 60) with Ken Skidmore of Autotek, who compares the various types of car -from personal experience!

Very nice article. In general I agree with everything. Only my opinion is you also need many people working on R5 car during service, as maybe it's more simple to work on, but you need to change a lot more parts in that car comparing to WRC/RRC/S2k, so you need people to do that... Also I liked S2000 very much, as it was pure rally car! Way more hardcore than R5...

By the way I was told some time a go by a guy from JM Racing that working on Fabia S2000 was much easier for mechanics than with Fiesta S2000. He said that everything was done more in a way to be replaceable easily and fast in Fabia.

Yes, that's true in my opinion also. Approach to design of Fiesta was different, but I'm not sure if it was worse. Very similar solutions were used in Fiesta WRC later as S2k was some kind of test car for their future Fiesta WRC. Most "difficult" things were for example brake discs bolted directly to wheel hubs, without use of bells (and all 4 wheels rotating when you turn only one, so changing all 4 discs same time was some kind of challenge - one false move and finger broken. Also driveshafts without any bolts, joints with splines etc. Open joints on both sides, with grease all over the place and many, many circlips, seger clips, etc.
