There's clearly no market for selling WRC cars and they are, first and foremost, a business...
Finally, the mirage R5 is allowed in Norwegian rallies in 2019.
It took 4 or 5 years.

If they want, I think there is no problem to manage allowing them to start in Czech rallies ;)Quote:

here you can use the car, either in the R5 class or national class.
Not updated on Norway quite yet.
Finland is not mentioned, Ketomaa did drive already 2 years ago...Quote:

OK, the Polo sounds a little bit better than the Skoda at least...
4.5/10 for noise
Looks VERY planted on the tarmac sectors of Catalunya shakedown.
Works Škodas are still silent but some which use Vančík engines already have nicer sound. Check it here: https://youtu.be/wN42uTERO-I?t=77Quote:

Good debut rally for the Polo.
How many will they produce before MC 2019?
There’s been talk of delivering the 15 first cars before christmas
But it was in time when they expected homologation in August...Quote:

Also, for general interest: "However, a competition like the Rally Spain is always different from testing – which is why a minor defect had a major impact. But the problem with the shift linkage is easy to solve and eliminate before the car is delivered to customers."

Volkswagen considering WRC2 Pro entry.
VW looking good, but I still like the looks of the Skoda. Especially in person.. it looks more aggressive with more pronounced fender flares.
Forgive the ignorance Mirek, but we don't use a system of rules anything like homologation rules here. Can any team build a car for R5 or does it have to be sourced from a manufacturer? And in the case you listed above, is the chassis supplied by Skoda and the engine sourced separately?Quote:

Peugeot used to sell R5 cars also as a kit but others sell only complete cars. Anyway without works papers You can't legally use the car in FIA competition (on national level it depends on the local ASN decision). Otherwise what You can change/modify Yourself must always stay within the homologation - for example You can change damper internals to some extent or You can use own fuel maps if manufacturer allows that (I think M-Sport doesn't not).Quote:

He mentioned Barum and Ypres as another options. Nice!
My personal guess is BRR will be there with AvTuT anyway ...

Prices of R5’s dropping, as anticipated in light of the new models being released next year. I think you’ll get a Fiesta R5 evo2 for sub £100,000 come the end of the year.

Czech Polo R5 premiere on 1st December in Prague rallysprint. The driver's name is kind of public secret but please wait few day for it to be officially announced. It's part of bigger project for 2019.
Was expected, but Johan Kristoffersen will be doing an event or more this winter in the Polo R5 his family team now owns. Hopefully he does a few rounds next year in various series too.
Johan will do romjulsrally around Elverum 29. December.
Or "a double world champion in rallycross" as it says.
More likely he will test his polo R5 than Ekstrøm or petter do this rally.
Petter also has his hands on a polo, ekstrøm did fairly well in a EVO9 and a Fabia WRC some years ago, but don't know wich cars he has around these days.

Luky?
Anyone know if M-Sport will be releasing a new Fiesta R5 based on the new model ?? Seems surprising they haven't done so already.
Yes, they will. last time I heard it was scheduled for April/May 2019 but it may have changed already.

MM Motorsport is selling a Fabia R5 which hasn't been driven at all. Bought for investigating details for Yaris R5 development? :cool:
First road test of MK8 R5 should be this week.
For sure later.Quote:

That's most likely the car which will run in Prague in less than two weeks.
Yes, will be.
New car, new livery. First hint.
