Nice cars! It would be great to see your views on AP4 cars (perf, costs, builders, etc) on the "New R4 think tank" thread (european rallies).

I'm struggling to find the exact time in the video but towards the end of the Rally Wairarapa video the commentator mentioned that next year Andrew Hawkeswood will switch to a new car. Anyone got any info on that? Something he said made me think it will be a different Mazda model, a 3 perhaps? If I rewatch and find it I'll post, but there wasn't much info on this new car

I wonder if we'll see the comparation between Mirage Evo, Proto & R5..?

Looks good, hopefully it'll still be running by the time Rally Otago gets to whichever stage I'll be spectating at...
