[Sulland]

What team/factory will the first to have a new S2000 base WRCar tested and homologatged ?

[urabus-denoS2000]

Abarth

[A.F.F.]

Peugeot.

[WRC1]

Abarth

[Abarth]

Abarth of course !!!

I think they already have done some tests with turbo, but I am not sure.

[grugsticles]

Id also guess Abarth as they seem to be the most motivated towards the new WRC regs.

[pantealex]

Skoda

I guess it will be VW! Since the rumors said that hey already have a Scirocco body built into S2000+ specs! But that, if FIA homologate new regs for Scirocco dimensions!

BTW, with the brands that already have a S2000 car, I guess Abarth should be te first one! Probably they built a Bravo car, or something new... the Punto racing years starting to be too much, I guess!

Abarth
Peugeot

My guess is that all manufacturers interested in the first "new" season gets the homologation at 1st January 2010 http://www.motorsportforums.com/forums/images/smilies/smokin.gif

TheFlyingTuga: Scirocco has over 1800 mm width (maximum) even in stock variant...

I know, but that why I say, if FIA homologate (change) the rules for them!

[Sulland]

It would be easiest for the makes with a S2000 in the portfolio already, but if one of the big 3 want to they could do this in weeks and start the testing.

Of the S2000 boys, my vote went to Peugeot, even if I have heard Abarth has tested turbo already. The french are usually more structured than the italians.

Skoda is also on the move these days, and could just continue a small engineering team to continue on the drawing board, now when the 2000 car will go into live rallying and production mode.

But PSA Sport is a mighty organisation, and they will end up with two rallycars - the 207 and the new C3 !

[Sulland]

Seems like Abarth is leading by a mile. Can anyone that know people inside that org, check their status, and plan ahead ?

[ShiftingGears]

Holden? :p :

[Wim]

[karlzoro]

Subaru did today :(

[Sulland]

The good thing if Skoda start testing of a turbo S2000 we will know, since the Czech are the best to document testing !!!

Thanks for that guys, you are amazing in that respect !

[Tom206wrc]

To me it's obvious that a constructor making already S2000 will homologate the "S2000+" in first ;)

So Fiat, Peugeot, Skoda, Toyota, Proton, MG, VW,...chose between one of them :p :

Don't forget Peugeot and its newly developped 207 in the GrR class(R3T in 2009) ;)

[TheFlyingTuga]

Well, when I said VW, was with one intention!
I know, that a motor strutured to Race in a racetrack, it's not the same than one made for rallying! But FIA, don't show the new rules yet... and VW as power because it's a big constructer... so I guess it's kind of obvious that FIA must do their will! The cars will have a bit more power... and lack of technology than a actually WRC Car, so the way to get them controled... it's to increase the width!
BTW, the motor of the Scirocco GT24 it's a 2 litter turbocharged, with 320 bhp (the same expected to the S2000+ class), and have 1870 mm of width, for a 1120 kg body... just attache a 4wd trasmition and rear wing "206 look-a-like" and this car seems a pretty S2000+ car for me!
I skecthed up something using the photoshop!

I believe in Peugeot at the WRC and Citroën at the DTM from 2010 and sincerily hope that Ford, Fiat, VW or Skoda and a asiatic team (Toyota???) could join the "lions" :s mokin:

PS: Bino a maqueta do Scirocco tá imp., só falta um patrocínio do sportmotores ;) ; Rodrigues, suponho que o teu pedido ao Pai Natal é mesmo o regresso da Subaru... :D
