Is the engine orientation of the production road car allowed to be changed for the R5 version?
An R5 Toyota 86 4wd with the transverse 1600 turbo motor (from the Yaris wrc - prototype)and sadev drivetrain . The rear wheel drive Toyota 86 rally cars seem to have a lot of rear tyre wear.

On the local news today, Jordan might host a round in 2016 calender :D. FIA want to change the area of the event from Dead Sea to south of Jordan in Aqaba, and the event might be run in the desert of Wadi Rum..
Yeah I know alot of people here considered Jordan Rally as a failure mainly due to lack of spectators, but at least Jordan Rally always had surprises and alot of suspension, specially in 2011 win Ogier win against Latvala by 0.2 seconds in the power stage.
ME PERSONALY, looking forward to this :D
Edit: Links for anyone who is interested to read about it, it is in Arabic.

First link has more details.
Link for Jordan?
I don't know about orientations but sure no prototype engine allowed for R5. R5 must use production engine (although it might be quite heavily tuned).Quote:

Xtrac have a R5 transmission. http://www.xtrac.com/sectors/motorsp...oad/product/98
Add the TRD large wing and the Toyota 86, BRZ, scion etc should start to look similar to the Celica 205.
Which is preferable the lower centre of gravity of the boxer engine in an Impreza/ 86 but over hanging the front wheel line or an inline transverse engine with a higher positioned mass but over and slightly behind the front wheels?
In my opinion it is better to have the engine behind the front axle and higher than lower but in front of the axle.
Anyway the production engine doesn't need to be 1.6. The stroke can be modified. For example Fiesta R5 uses 2.0 block and Fabia R5 uses 1.8 block.
Hi, Any news somewhere about 2015 calendar? Changes to this year?
