Just watched this video from Valais https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oWmQ87gokL4
There seems to be still big difference in torque between Fabia and other R5 in those uphill hairpins (especially lazy DS3 R5).
Yep, still Andolfi set great times (5 stages wins) with the i20.Quote:

Gassner start was a first rollout / test only to get the car known. He won already his targets in the championship.Quote:

Thanks, interesting
Another suspension part broke after a jump in Abbring's test yesterday.
Looks a bit like Hyundai did not test thoroughly enough at the moment.
Could just be a faulty part from a supplier. I used to work in a autoshop of a famous brand and one motor in particular keeped broking down after 2000-3000 km. They found out that was a part from a supplier and you can still buy that car with that motor and run it your whole life.Quote:

Why did Abbring not restart under Rally2 after his day one off in GB?
He did, but had transmission problem on the road section tot the first stage. It was probably damaged while trying to get out of the ditch.Quote:

Btw, fantastic footage of the i20 (and others R5) on TER's Valais video: http://www.terseries.com/media/video...16-tv-magazine
Erm, didn't see that coming:
VW Polo R5, coming soon.

If true, it means end of Skoda Fabia R5 production and end of Skoda motorsport in rally at the end of 2017 at the latest.
A) That's VW's press release, so definitely trueQuote:

We all have seen the way VW bosses are thinking during last two days (they are not afraid to stop WRC2017 project at the very end of development). Two R5s in one concern is a way too much. Wish I was wrong.
It may mean anything, it may also mean that Škoda will take over WRC activities although I am skeptical about that. It may also mean that Škoda will do for example the new R4 or completely different sport or nothing. We have to wait and see.
PSA has two R5's, why VAG can't do that?
PSA "made" two R5 cars, but for future I am afraid it will not stay same...Quote:

They are even in different regions, yes they are under the same "hat" but still have separate engineering, separate budget, separate marketing programs.
If VW decided to run a works programme with the R5, one brand could concentrate on ERC and the other on WRC2.
M-Sport organized a R5 event to possible costumers last friday with 20/30 drivers. I saw an italian guy, Ingram, Adielsson, Costa,...
Link?
Also Peter Bijvelds and Mats van den Brand tested it.
Also I've been there:)
Mostly UK people, some Portugese, Sweedish, Lithuanian, Dutch
MW is the best rally entrepreneur!!!!!
Maybe remember Lithuanian name?Quote:
