I also like the sound of the three cylinder engine.
Does anybody know the size of the restrictor? I didn’t find any mention of it in the specific regulations http://www.fia.com/sites/default/fil...%282015%29.pdf“Don’t eat the yellow snow” Frank Zappa

"All the air necessary for feeding the engine must pass through this restrictor which must respect the following:
The maximum internal diameter of the restrictor is 33 mm, maintained for a minimum distance of 3 mm measured downstream of a plane perpendicular to the rotational axis situated at a maximum of 50 mm upstream of a plane passing through the most upstream extremities of the wheel blades (see Drawing 254-4)."

Even with 1 litre engine the 33 mm restrictor means it has really big power potential. For me the restrictor size seems to be way too big.

Bigger is better... For FIA it must be very difficult to estimate the potential of the new turbo engines compared to the atmospheric engines, especially since every event has different characteristics... Which manufacturers have the right engine to make a new R2-car? I think Opel has a good base-engine with the Adam (1.0 Ecotec).

I'm a bit confused after reading this appendix J, what is the difference between R2C and R3C?

The level of allowed tuning. For example R2C has 5-speed gearbox and R3C has 6-speed.

TBH I dont get why some places have anti-cut devices when other identical kind of places allow huge cutting and the throwing of dirt all over the road.
