I remember they said something about 1.5 instead 1.0 at Rally3.

Nikolay Gryazin just took the new Fabia's second victory at Rallye Hirvenal du Devoluy. He won all but one stage, Loubet was his closest rival but he retired after 7 stages with mechanical issues. Tricky to read too much into it because of conditions/tyre choices etc but the winning margins on some stages were quite large. From the videos i saw Gryazin looked pretty comfortable with the car already despite just one day testing. Results here:

Loubet's Fiesta Rally2 is Chassis #8... an early car that has been in private hands in Belgium and I believe not the latest spec.

If MSport have pinpointed and corrected the issues their Rally2 Fiesta has on gravel/snow in the last joker, then sales will jump very quickly.
I hope they have fixed it, we need all Rally2 cars to be competitive!

I suspect that if FIA continues down this route, then Hyundai won't need to develop a new car, because they won't be in the WRC> It really is a stupid strategy of the FIA to spend more money on...
