For me that's not really a surprise Holzer declared directly that there must be first negotiations with Opel to get the car support from them and they it could be homologated as an R5. So it's normal they hide the Opel logo with no agreement yet.

Like it was said, no opel logos on the tent and the trucks are the ones Holzer uses at ERC. There was room for doubts since day one: why the initial youtube videos weren't posted by Opel, once Holzer (the team behind R2 program) was ever a silent partner? It's now clear that the development and presentation of this R5 Corsa were done by Holzer initiative and Opel permission. I don't believe Opel will allow homologation if there's no official program (ERC or WRC2) attached, and for that to happen the new bosses (PSA) must give their green light. Fingers crossed!
Btw, I've seen the car at Exponor and it looks really great.Rally addict since 1982

According to @GronholmM, Jari Huttunen got permission from Opel Motorsport to enter @RallyFinland in Fabia R5, but he must use Opel overalls...
