Isakssen were European Rallycross Champion with Ford Focus with Volvo sponsorship, so...
I saw stuff like that several times in the past too. For example Subaru with Peugeot dealer sponsorship...
Steveny has done that in the past too and it was also Kia the dealership from Hannut that was his sponsor (or even his own dealership.. not sure anymore).
It's Didier Arias car. I think he is the Kia importer in Paraguay.Quote:

Jeep also as sponsor with green sticker
Indeed might it even be based on the same engine as I believe PSA and BMW share engines?Quote:

don't get me wrong. I don't know if that is a problem. I just find it as a clear difference in the approach compared to competitors.Quote:

PSA have also some problems with gearbox quality, etc.
I have a question with regards to the 208.
My understanding of the homologation procedures was that a homologation can only be done once a quarter of a year - so basically 1/1, 1/4, 1/7 or 1/10.
From that logic, the 208 will be allowed no earlier than 1/4 this year. However, Peugeot Sport have already announced Breen and Abbring in 208's at Acropolis for its competition début. Granted, the rally is March 28th-30th, but surely you cannot bend rules due to a quirk in the calendar year?
I am asking because several rallies start on either March 28th or 29th, so I guess if Peugeot Sport are allowed in Acropolis then privateers would be allowed to drive 208s (if delivered of course) on these other rallies?
