When can we expect a press release from the meeting - today or tomorrow ?
Some interesting stuff there.
Today is the day of the announcement! Do they get a 34mm restrictor?
News from the FIA meeting is?
Q: KeH08 @WRCgerardquinn Was there any decisions made during the Paris meeting concerning future technical regulations (WRC, R4)?
A: WRCgerardquinn @KeH08 No definitive regulations for R4 at this time. It was discussed but final outcome yet to be given by FIA
I hope all the other rally categories do not get forgotton about now that the new WRC 1.6 turbo category is bering pursued with M Sport, Citroen and prodrive.
It will be a shame, as it will just be like WRC 2 litre category all over again, when everything below just gets pushed to one side.
Any updates on the R classes? Or is it not happening for now?
There is something in Motorsport News today 13th Oct about Mini and R3. David Richards says priority has to be given to the 1.6T WRC car, but in 2012 Prodrive hope to have an R3 Mini, (2 wheel drive) to compliment the Citroen, and Renault cars in that class. DR says the future of Group N is unclear and something needs to fill the void from the Subaru / Mitsu Group N cars. Its only my opinion based on what I am reading, including the fact that JWRC's replacement will be R2, that a ladder structure is possibly coming in based on R2 (JWRC) and R3 (possibly PWRC replacement) and R4 (swrc?)being talked about. thus keeping WRC 1.6T as the pinnacle.Quote:

Cooper S seems to be ideal for R3T class.
Obviously, DR would say that. As he is involved with the new 1.6 world rally car category.
If there was only R1, R2, R3, R4 & R GT classes. The comments would be different.
MINI for R3T class is good news :)
