Are you a prophet? Another power steering problem for Kajetanowicz on SS13 in Turkey. He lost over 2 minutes and a chance to win WRC2 :(

Dont know if this was posted elsewhere but Henning Solberg used Chris Ingram's 'ERC' Škoda R5 on Rally Turkey.

Ingram used a new Fabia R5 which he will also drive on Rally GB.

Not correct unfortunately. Chris used the test car on Turkey. He has a new car for Poland.

Re Turkey, I meant new as in different.

He also called it new, ie not his ERC car.

If M-Sport wants sell Fiesta R5 MK8 need hire Lukyanuk to WRC2. Only one can beat the Škoda army.

Btw, look difference between Škoda’s yesterday in Portugal and the current model in same stage: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1824...0835261563465/

New one looks quicker out the hairpin.

I can only say that it has different sound (and that's what we knew already). Anything else can't be judged from that video.

Nice video. Car looks agile and powerful.

Just as others were closing the gap, I think Skoda and VW will move the goalposts again.

I wonder if VAG would allow Codies to adding Fabia R5 Evo to Dirt Rally 2.0..?

Anyone know if/when a Mk8 Fiesta R5 is coming ?

Seems strange when the WRC Mk8 car has already been out nearly two years...

`How competitive will the Polo be out of the box in Spain?
Will it be on level with the Fabia?

Will be surprised if there are no reliability issues, but lets see.

Maybe there will be some niggles but it should be fast and reliable out of the box. The Fabia was pretty good from the start and VW had the added advantage of Skoda's R5 knowledge as a base to work from.

Summer 2019, but I have not read any official statment from M Sport.

Any idea if there will be big change on aero packed? engine? Or will it just be a simple facelift ?

New car. M-Sport has no worry to launch R5, need be profitable and fast from beggining.

e-Car projet seems to be secret too.

Aero can't be much different, as in R5 it's very limited. Engine will be totally different, as based on different standard engine. Will be more powerful. Other main components similar - Life Racing electronics, Sadev transmission, Reiger dampers... Car will be lighter than current model. Original plan was to release car in March 2019, for the moment it's delayed, maybe until autumn 2019.

Thanks.

It could really do with coming sooner. Sales of the current car must be hit by the newer R5's and M-Sport relies on sales/parts to fund it's WRC programme...

10 km/h difference btw Skoda and Ford they say. Time loss for the Ford boys when top speed is held for a period of time.

Has MSport classed more than on top gear ratio, or is it not allowed?

Any word on the Proton Iriz R5 homologation?

Fiesta has two options (two are allowed I think), the other is even shorter. Škoda has engine with more torque and can afford to run longer gears than others. It was the same with S2000.
