So, my thoughts on this is that MSport sold a lot of cars for being the first one on the market, and when they really get competition, they could make a new improved one! Simply Clever :P

You are right. New Fiesta shall come in +-2-3 years from now.

Was Fabia S2000 so much better then Fiesta S2000 then? I remember Karl Kruuda changing from Škoda to Ford just because it was better and faster. One particular thing he said was "Ford has more powerful engine"

Also Fabia has a number of evolutions over the years, but not the Fiesta if I remember correctly (do I???). Then they introduced the RRC which is something different altogether

At the top end maybe?

It probably depends whose Fiesta and Fabia he was driving and what evolution it was.

I think the Fiesta S2000 was a good car, but very few people seemed to use it in IRC so it is quite hard to tell which is better.

Also the Fiesta S2000 was later than the Fabia so we have the opposite situation to now with the R5.

Fast spanish driver Miguel Fuster is aiming a Citroën DS3 "R5" for next year's spanish rally championship :D

Maybe R5 for Aigner in summer 2014: http://www.motorline.cc/rallye/2013/Div ... 84233.html

Any news on that Mitsubishi Space Star R5 show a few pages ago?

I was gonna say I hope it has died a death but this image doesn't look too bad

maybe that means I'm severely lacking in sleep, I don't know

That looks more close to a showcar than actually a test prototype! But anyhow, looks good! Keep us updated :)
