I know I'm bringing back this thread from a loong time ago, but I was wondering what it the most dominant R2 at the moment for gravel rallies?
It seems like everyone is in a Fiesta R2, but a few people have had great results with the Peugeot 208 R2.
Is the Ford superior or does it have to do with support or something else?

Fiesta is not superior to Peugeot or Opel. It's cheaper to run and has a massive support from DMACK in WRC but if You want to see real speed of R2 cars follow JERC where anyone can drive what he wants. The fastest car (and by far most expensive) is Opel Adam closely followed by Peugeot 208.

Thank you, Mirek.
A close friend of mine is looking into a 2wd rally car for national rallies in Australia. They allow R2 cars and he's been torn on what to buy. Surprisingly the Opel Adam in used condition is cheaper then the Fiesta R2's.
Do you know of a site which has info on the Adam's R2 package?

It's strange but Opel Motorsport website is only in German. Some basic info is here: https://www.opel-motorsport.com/rall...rzeug-technik/

Yeah, it is strange for sure. Seems like Opel oversees the program a lot more than Ford does with the Fiesta's. You can easily buy Fiesta parts from various suppliers. Could be why the Fiesta's are popular. I was unable to find any info regarding the Adam.
I will be spectating in Germany and will try to get more info if possible. I think I saw a few R2's on the entry list.

In terms of customer support M-Sport is IMO the best.

Like Mirek said, Opel Adam is the best R2 car at the moment. If you have a look at the results of Junior European Rally Championship (U27):
https://www.fiaerc.com/standings/
you will see Ingram, Huttunen and Zawada in the first 3 positions. They all drive Opel Adams. All 3 rounds (out of 6) so far were won by Opels. The first Ford Fiesta is in the 5th position.http://www.rallymadness.prv.pl - rally photos and movies!
