Nice, thanks for fast reply, Soprano. R2 should be fast ... ;)

[Mirek]

More class R cars to come soon ;)

[modri dirkac]

Don't be shine, Mirek, we won't tell to anybody ... :talk: :D

[urabus-denoS2000]

OK Mirek,what news from Škoda do you have? :D :D :D :D

[Mirek]

There is no another factory Škoda car in development.

[Sulland]

What are the total cost for the R1 and R2 ready to go ?

[br21]

it will be around 39k euro for R2 (kit plus base car). till the end of the year there should be "maxi" kit available which should make the car fully competitive with c2r2max enginewise.
first Twingo R2 kits should be available at the end of april.

[Sulland]

And is it correct that the R1 is car + 10 000 € ?

But are the buyers getting a discount one the donorcar as well ?

[br21]

for R1 I don't know. for R2 you pay around 29k euro for kit plus 10k euro for donor car

[Sulland]

Thanks !

So we are talking 40 000 for R2 and 20 000 for R1, how does that compare with R2s from Ford and Citroen ?

[Gordini]

Any news on the Skoda R-Class?
And when will we see the Twingo Gordini R1?

[PLuto]

Skoda in R-class will be finished in first half of this year.

[Gordini]

Fabia R1, R2 or R3?

[Mirek]

Fabia R2 Max, but it's not factory project although it should be homologated by factory.

[Sulland]

What is the status of the Twingo ? Has anyone rallied them yet ?

[Mirek]

Yes, at least Nikara, Rantanen, Guigou and some another two French drivers already drove them.

[Wim_Impreza]

Guigou drives it this weekend in the Rallye de Wallonie. Unfortunately I won't be there as I am tomorrow until Sunday at Assen for the World Superbikes.

[Sulland]

]Yes, at least Nikara, Rantanen, Guigou and some another two French drivers already drove them.

Is that R1 or R2 cars ? Looking at the names I guess it is R2. Will Renault do a R2 Max version to match the C2s ?

Do we know if the R1 is homologated yet, and if it is tested by anyone ?

[Sulland]

Is the price of 24 000 Euro correct for an R1 ?
