Strong engine plus predictable handling - sounds good. :)Quote:

Ken Block tests the new Fiesta R5 in Ireland plus a nice interview with M-Sport's Rich Millener:

There is a riddle at the official M-Sport fanpage on Facebook.
"Last week saw the first all-new Ford Fiesta R5 roll out of the workshop to the customer! Who knows where it was headed?" :)

"Delighted to be so close and mixing times with the World Rally drivers and cars..."
I did meet Fabia R5 "experts" this weekend.
They had spare parts lists and all dimencions.
EVO has even different doors than old R5 (the cutting is different)
btw. EVO has still 100% winning and new Fiesta not even single podiums...
Early days for Fiesta.. Estonia was it’s first proper event right?
Next test will be ERC Rome next weekend. Campedelli is a strong driver so should be a good benchmark.
Estonia was definitely a disappointment though. Looked visibly slower than the Fabia and Polo in the videos. Also seems very quiet (quieter than Fabia even)
Indeed, Cempedelli will be a perfect benchmark. I hope he wins....Quote:

Any news on Toyota R5 from the Jyväskalä area, Pantealex?Quote:

Between 0.5 and 1.0 secs/Km slower than the previous generation Fabia.Quote:

This would then appear to compromise the speed that the jumps could be taken.
Looks like there's a lot of work to do.
What? Malcolm says the car is quicker! ;)Quote:

Maybe this will get the new Fiesta R5 maximum performance...
