R3 Cars

[Co-driven]

In Chile, the drivers suffered with the Clio. They claimed that the car wasn't well developed to gravel stages and couldn't match the Ds3 with the Max kit.

In the end, the champion was a Clio (the older version, with NA engine).

The Clio sounded awful on Rally Gb, probably the worst sounding rally ever! Under heavy acceleration it as constantly spluttering on 2 days like it had a misfire! Do they run traction control on these?

Indeed traction control

Indeed traction control

I've also noticed two days ago in an event this awfull sound, like there is something wrong with the engine under acceleration. The engine does not spin at all....when a P208 R2 passed us, it was "like haven" compared to this strange Clio's noise.

Frankly I don't understand at all why R3 cars have TC allowed.

Additionally the Burri car had a colour scheme to match it's performance - baby crap brown!

almost double torque from an s2000 at 2 wheels,at very low rpms.

[Mirek]

True. Still I don't like it at all.

I think R3T was a bad step. Cars are not so interesting to watch and too expensive for run.

You can't stay with naturally aspirated engines forever since nearly nobody is producing them these days and nobody is interested in giving them any promotion (aside of maybe Mazda which is not involved anyway).
