Laukkanen is driving one in Kenya, probably for commercial reasons. I suppose it's a TMR built Sub, not the JRM one.
There's one too in USA, but I don't know if it's a JRM or something locally built. And a few in Finland, but it's TMR, not JRM cars.
This one is for sure a failure. It happened to late too ...
Maybe the new could be a success. Sub Canada, Sub USA, STI in Japan, ... some are already using the WRX STi 2015. Maybe it can have a commercial success if it well done. The car looks better, more agressiv, closer to a real rally car.

Yes but we speak about few cars here and there while there are thousands of N10-N16 everywhere. It's not a success to sell less gr.N cars than WRC.

I'd rather see JRM try to build a R-GT Nissan, with either the 370Z or GT-R than try to build a car which can't compete with R5's in WRC2. At least a R-GT would be a 'crowd pleaser'. The GpN cars are as dull as ditchwater.
Is there a better sound than that of Porsche engined Flat-6 ???

Bryan Bouffier driving an OPEN N group car last weekend was able to win Polish championship round. An OPEN N group car is basically a Mitsubishi Lancer or Subaru Impreza with bodywork of a different car, a Ford Fiesta in this case. Bryan beat multiple R5s this time and he also was 2nd in a previous round a few weeks ago. If that kind of cars would get more popular then there would a market for Mitsubishi and Subaru, but not a direct brand exposure though.

It was on qualifying stage, he rolled the car and it was said that he won't be able to start the rally. But team managed to repair the car and he did start and dominated drivers like Rossel, Gryazin...
