    Yes, that's true. Skoda has only about 170kmh top speed. R5 has around 200kmh
    Sääli on sairautta! ;)

    No, Fiesta R5 has top speed 177 km/h as confirmed by its engineer here on forum. Only one set of gears homologated. Peugeot probably more as Nafpaktos reported rom stages but definitely not 200 km/h. It's only 5-speed box with max rpm 7500. It makes no sense to have so long gearbox. Škoda has various sets of gears homologated. It can have top speed over 180 km/h. Such long gearbox has been usually used in Ypres and in Otrokovice leg of Barum rally.

    Meanwhile Todor Slavov, leader of 2WD, retired after an accident.

    That should be right. Vasily Gryazin after SS5: "A lot of time on the limiter, about 3 kms. It's boring."

    Slavov retired after he hit the rocks around the road. The front of the Clio is very bad damage!
