It didn't last long with the Hyundai...
Certainly no wow effect on asphalt. I don't know but in this video it doesn't look good to me.Quote:

It reminds me a bit of the Hyundai R5, a bit 'soft'.
@VWMotorsport
We will start testing the new Polo R5 shortly. We will keep you updated. Best regards.
If the Polo is largely the same as the Fabia mechanically I suppose it won't need as much testing as otherwise would have been the case.

En 2018 construirán 15 unidades, las cuales ya están todas vendidas. #WRC Para 2019 la intención es construir otras 50 unidades del Polo R5.
In 2018 they will build 15 units, which are already all sold. #WRC For 2019 intends to build 50 units of the Polo R5.
Anyone else see Colin Clark suggesting that Lefebvre will be heading up the Citroen C3 R5 challenge in 2018 ?
He also said he heard from an insider who has driven it, that the car is: "Quite, quite magnificent. Possibly the best car in that category..."
Is the Iriz homologated, or inline to be by Proton?Quote:

Good decision. I thought they should have done the same before homologation of the 208/DS3 as well (OK, 208 did Ypres, but was a very different car by the time of homologation). Also, it will be interesting to compare it to the old PSA cars and the Fabias/Fiestas.Quote:

MEM is a solid company with some talented folks. I would not be surprised if the Proton is up to spec with other cars. Always nice to see other manu's get involved. With Toyota coming into R5 it will be a great roundup of manu's showing off their talents.

Why not? As winner of JWRC 2016 he was Citroen official driver in WRC2 2017.Quote:

Main thing is Breen is very familiar with the previous PSA products, so has a good idea of what doesn't work well in an R5...Quote:

Polo R5...
Or maybe Pikes Peak? Should be WRC`Polo`s steering wheel...
No flappy paddle gear change so more than likely the R5.Quote:

Yup, Sadev gear lever a big giveaway. R5 it is.

That`s the picture i was talking about... Polo WRC launch, not R5 interior.
Small story in MN today with Tommi quotes on a Toyota R5. Basically Tommi says they'd like to do it, he reckons Toyota would be on board too - but there currently isn't a suitable engine in the Toyota stable that lends itself to an R5, given the tighter restrictions on engine modifications.
With no change in the engine range seemingly on the horizon, it looks like the project is not getting off the ground any time soon. Which is a shame, as I think it was widely assumed this was happening.
Here You go with the calling for return of gr.A... Even the biggest car manufacturer in the world doesn't produce anything suitable for making an R5 engine. That's why it's very often easier for manufacturers to build rally cars completely from scratch than to be bound by using stock components.
