New R4 Car - Think Tank

http://www.oreca.com/blog/2017/01/27...er-of-r4-kits/

Only Oreca run for FIA’s R4 category? Why not allow private tuners to homologate kits on their home countries, through their FIA recognized ASN? That way we could have a faster (and probably cheaper) globalization of R4.

In Spain local R4 version (N5) will get new cars in ’17. Besides the Swift built by ARVidal and the 208 Barratec based car from RMC, a new Mirage has been built by RMC, using a Dytko chassis. (Btw, after the 911’s, N+’s will also be restricted on Spain series. Open route for R5 domination).

There is written in the statement that there are some freedom, but not what and within what field?

will Oreca build theire own engine from scratch or will take a stock engine and modify that one?

Anyoen here with contacts within Oreca that could check some more details, and prices?

Fia says in the pdf that max costs of the kit is 105.000 euro ex taxes.

I quess this without car.

You need a car, wide body kit, roll cage, spot welding, safety equipment etc.

This will cost approx 150.000 euro

What pdf?

Ahh, so FIA let the full car price go from 105 K € to aprox 150 K. Now the Oreca R4 kit alone is 105.
Too bad, 105 is imo still too high for many privateers.

7 year homologation periode is good, and will make for a healthy 2nd hand market!

I could not find a date on the doc, is this the latest one?

Following a tender, the FIA is pleased to announce that ORECA has been registered as a supplier of R4-Kits for cars that can compete in FIA regional and national rally championship events. http://www.fia.com/news/r4-kits-regi...nal-rally-cars
