I guess that last year's Evo contained only the engine update but not the suspension which was scheduled for later stage.
Won't there be a totally new Fiesta R5 based on the new road car soon?
2018
Great to see M-Sport keeping the newer R5's honest with another Evo of the Fiesta. :)Quote:

I think end of may the Evo comes out for the Fabia.
for the moment this evo2 update will consist only engine upgrade (not needing total engine rebuild, like it was in case of evo update). Camshafts, manifold, etc, with total cost of some 4k GBP.

Does anyone know some more about the R5 homologation rules? I thought they were quite restrictive but MSport are already preparing a new evo barely a year after the last one.
Wasn't he driving a Porsche 911 GT3 in rally?Quote:

Depends what You call an evolution. Everyone has the same fixed number of jokers but of course it sounds nicer if You call every bigger modification a new evolution. Saying "we developped a new evolution" definitely sales better than "we applied two jokers".Quote:

As far as I remember PSA only will build C3 R5 in the future.Quote:

It's similar like comparing gr.N Evo and S2000. You can reach very big top speed with gr.N car if You have veeeery long straight simply because You still have rpm to use before the limiter. Even though the available power isn't great anymore.
For R5 the main reason for lower top speed is 5-speed gearbox.
PLuto was stubbornly insisting there was such a project and that there would be such a car, and that was maybe two years ago. I seem to recall that someone even claimed it had tested but we have still not seen anything so even if there were plans I doubt they came to fruition.Quote:

So what would the absolute max speed of a 2011 - 2016 WRC car be and R5 and the other R classes?Quote:

Anyway top speed is not the most important factor of any car and there aren't many roads where it plays a role.
With R classes it is very much limited by the rules. R5 are allowed to have only two options, S2000 had more (don't remember exactly), R2 have only one or two etc.
Typicaly... R5 175-195 km/h, R2 160-190 km/h, S2000 165-195 km/h but except for Škoda usually shorter options are being used.
Never say never :-)Quote:

Juho Salo has done something right on his 208 T16, it works and he wins. Apart from that it is also the best looking one!
It's nothing new actually. Salo was doing it right the whole last year when he won the Finnish championship with that car.Quote:

I was off for nearly whole Rallye Monte Carlo. Can somebody shortly described the story behind Abbring's result?
