Hi,

I've just read today that Mark Pedder, brother of Scott the 2014 ARC champion will drive for the first time in Australia a 208 "Maxi Rally" from the argentinian Baratec team ;)

Looks like the latest generations of Maxi Rally cars(argentinian rules spécifications)are the same of our "R5" group in Europe(1.6 turbocharged engines)...what are the real technical différences :confused:

Development and homolgation of 1.6-litre Turbo direct injection engine is not ready. First rally this season was with 2.4lit Honda engine in all cars.

OK thanks Ricardo ;)

There's this car going to Australia and another going to Brazil.

It has a 1.6 litre turbocharged engine, that comes from the road versions of the DS3, 208 GTi and also some Minis.

I think the cars will keep the same transmission as previously used.

Molly Taylor won the opening heat of the ARC, after problems for the other competitors and overcoming her own steering problem.
