Did not check linkedin, and there it shows he is Motorsport manager Renault group, Iberia.
So hopefully he knows.
They should try for 1 jan, so buyers could get a car from the start of the season.
So who is next in line? Toyota have given signals they will go Rally2 before Rally3, so are there others that will get in before Toyota?
Stellantis, Skoda or Proton maybe?
opposite, Toyota said will go with rally3 first waiting for mild hybrid decision for rally2Quote:

So, they will start testing soon. Hopefully will we get some films here, from a french "spy" !:p
Latvala said first that they would go 3 then 2. But I feel I remember that he swapped to getting rally2 finished first, but I might have had a bad dream !
So if they go Rally3 first, will you guess they homologate before or after Renault?
But if Ford will be alone for 1 year+, they might sell 100 Rally3 before anyone else enter the market.
not earlier than mid 23 for toyota.Quote:

... and the debut rally was not bad at all! Laskowski was 14th overall in last weekend's Rally Sarma in Latvia. He was best among all (2) Rally3 cars, nearly 1 minute quicker than Dmitry Feofanov. Not bad for a 16-year old kid.Quote:

Many of the rally2 drivers would have had almost equal amount of fun for less than half the price in a Rally3 car!
Did Toyota start project?

Renault testing yet?
Some rumors implied Toyota would after all work on Rally2 firstQuote:

I think more and more potential buyers have been impressed with the speed, more or less out of the box.
Would be cool to see Loeb in a Rally3 on gravel, to get a real benchmark!
Wow! 60 looks great! I wonder who buys all of them?Quote:

That model sold close to 300!
Still no news from Renault Sport on testing on their contender. Hopefully soon!
That imo extremely impressive. Meanwhile R5 was very anticipated, there were a doubt about Ra3.Quote:

Nice sprint on last stages!

What happened to Feofanov in the last stages, he suddenly lost a lot of time?
it's written a spin made him lose the top spot...Quote:

16yo Hubert Laskowski just won Croatia River Rally in a Rally3 Fiesta
Attachment 2261
Seventh overall on Leg 2 of Azores Rally !!!
Jon Armstrong8 and Brian Hoy beat over half of the Rally2 field in their Fiesta Rally3 today. A remarkable achievement for both the crew and the car.
Seems like more drivers and team have gotten to know the cars, and starts to get the best out of settings and ways to drive them. We are getting closer to true potential.
Still I would like to see a top notch rally2 or rally1 driver, used to much more speed, to give Rally3 a go!
Yes. Entry list was not very exciting, but it's still a great success of this 16-year-old driver and his Ford Fiesta Rally3. Congratulations!Quote:

Interesting to see Jan Černy also in a Fiesta Rally3 and impressive for Laskowski to beat him !
Still no clio rally3 testing. Why?
Maybe it´s not yet ready.Quote:

Yes, I imagine it must have been quite a disappointment for Cerny to be defeated by a 16-year-old driver in the same car...Quote:
