2015 WRC Homologation

GpA was one of the most popular times for bringing the crowds in.

The FIA could easily control the costs of the R5 car. By taking the rules further with production brake calipers (any car manufacturer and homologated of car production of 2500 models at least etc).

There are many other components they could apply this to, like the turbo.

Afaik it’s already the case. Look at post #31 in this thread.

anything new abbout the homologation regulations for 2015 onwards???

I wonder what’s the ultimate goal with the R5+ is (modified turbo and intake, 34 mm restrictor and extra 30hp: http://www.m-sport.co.uk/m-sport-news/f ... odels.html).

M-Sport say it’s intended for national championships but I find it strange to have a car that’s is more powerful than the R5 & S2000, which are the top class in many national championships. Imo the R5+ belong in a different class than R5 & S2000. Top class R5+, next level R5 &S2000, N4 etc.

The other new model introduced was the Fiesta RS34. Could M-Sport have some deal with FIA to test these new models as possible new WRC formula or is it just MW’s business?

Both have nothing to do with FIA homologations. They are intended for events run under national regulations (specifically BTRDA series I believe).

I like the question you're asking. I find it quite strange to have them just for national rallies too. Seems a bit...odd.

Or maybe MW just tries to sell a Fiesta two times. Twice the buyers twice the money to burn a hole in his pocket?
