Mini only offer the wrc or the "super production" which is their rrc/s2000 equivalent. Too many stupid names

They could call it the Susan if that makes them happy - I'm just wondering which class it falls into.
Any S2000 car without WRC package is class 2 be it S2000 2.0NA or S2000 1.6T.
s2000: N/A aspirated 2.0L like fabia, 207, punto
RRC: turbo 1.6L WRC engine with 30mm restrictor (33mm for WRC) mini JCW S2000, fiesta RRC, DS3 RRC
R5: turbo 1.6L engine. not with huge budged/expert needs to run engine compared WRC but similar output to RRC. only 208 R5 so far.
those are competing in same class. RRC and S2000 are supposed to fade out (i think not so soon)
So, RRC is not a stand-alone class of car (like Group N), then?
The class they run in is S2000T - which is in reality 1.6 turbos, as you would know.Quote:

In regards to the Mentos boys, I dont think that there is an actual difference between what people call Mini RRC an Mini S2000, but I'm not completely sure on that one, hope for Mirek or PLuto to see these posts later on.. ;)
Right, thank you.
Now I just need to verify the reliability of these Mentos Ascania sources.
There's no difference between Mini s2000 and Mini SP - they have only 1.6 turbo engine car without WRC kitQuote:

My understanding is that Super 2000 and Group N will eventually be discontinued, and Group R will take over from it. Every new car that gets homologated will be classified under Group R regulations.
