there is no brand new factory R5 car to buy for 180k euros. All the cars, in tarmac OR gravel spec cost over 210k euros.
Also Fiesta Evo is same body as older version. Only "evo" changes are engine plus some small suspension parts difference (stronger than older spec) plus rear spoiler mounting modification, etc.

There was an interview with János Tóth and his codriver, Tamás Szőke, in which they touched on why they had many problems this year, especially on gravel: http://motorsport.reblog.hu/visszaterhet-e-a-csucsra-a-hetszeres-bajnok-ifj-toth-janos
Tóth said that the 208 T16 is interesting to drive on gravel, especially on low-grip surfaces, as it tends to oversteer even with low speed, but when the grip is good/high, it becomes much easier to drive.
Szőke was very critical, saying that Peugeot Sport cares too much about the Dakar program, and in the meantime the R5 gets very limited attention, and is falling behind the competition in WRC and ERC as well.

That is interesting...
Jennings being a very quick and experienced driver of the Irish Tarmac Championship should be an ideal pilot to show how good the Mirage is on the asphalt.
The only issue against him is he is still driving an Impreza WRC in the ITC so wont be used to an R5 car...

R5 are generally relatively easy cars to drive. All drivers here who switched from WRC to R5 were immediately fast. The best example is Martin Vlček who switched from Fabia WRC to Fiesta R5 and with only a very short test finished Rally Bohemia on podium which was his best ever result there.
