“Based on the standard Ford Fiesta R5 which launched earlier this year, the Fiesta R5+ incorporates a modified turbo and air-intake system. The standard 32mm restrictor has also been replaced with a 34mm example which provides the engine with an extra 30hp. Not homologated for FIA championships, the Fiesta R5+ is intended for national series.”

On a Finnish forum a forum member told that his brother has modified a group N Mitsu to the Finnish FIR R 4WD group regulations. With E85 fuel and 34 mm restrictor (otherwise 35 mm). Dyno results with 1,5 bar boost, 375 PS / 720 Nm.

It sounds quite possible. Some time a go one engineer told me that for gr.N Impreza with 33 mm restrictor a proper E85 set engine meant something like +40 Hp and +60 Nm compared to usual racing petrol one.

Re: Rally Cars tech stuff
It was with a car from Belgian championship, I don't know exact regulations for the fuel - if they use their own or how it is. In the national championship I think the risk of running out of fuel isn't that big as the loops aren't that long but anyway he told me the consumption was some 20% higher.

I don't see Verstappen joining Mercedes unless Newey goes there which has also a very low probability.
