R3 Cars

[TheFlyingTuga]

There is no 3-door new Clio.

Ups, my bad! I'm don't like it's design (probably have to get use to it like the Megane II)so I don't look to much to them, but the back doors are really in shape with the body! Didn't notice their all 5-doors!

Thanks for the correction Mirek

Thanks for the claryfication OldF, maybe MSport will speed up if JWRC will go R3??

If JWRC switched to R3, what would be the point of WRC3?

Only one point of WRC3 was to fight against ERC 2WD...

And the age limit in JWRC, so older FWD drivers can participate in a World Championship!
