He was still faster than half of the r5 cars tho.

Big rear wing is back on C3WRC during last week for Rally Mexico Test Days ► http://bit.ly/2ExLafB

The new front is just as important imo. Keeps the car balanced.
+ the Toyota-style mini-wings

i guess they all have updates for Mexico, like always.


but the C3 looks monstrous

C3 has been a bit behind Aero-wise for a while, so clearly an area they have targeted

I didn't put it on the dyno, but that's what they told me.
And i have not much trouble believing it. They make 520 hp stock, so i don't see why they would not be able to tune them to over 600hp.

Remember that its not a detuned rgt, its a uptuned national proto. You should be see it live to believe it.

gt3 isnot a turbocharged car,so a bit difficult to extract 80 bhp more from an already pushed atmo engine.

A new 991 GT3 makes 520 hp NA from a 4.0 liter engine. Nobody has been able to make more then 550 using add ons to a new 991 motor. If they are making 650 on an atmospheric engine they would be the first in the world to extract so much power, but honestly it would be nearly impossible.

The one Abbring was driving has a 3.8 which is making around 450 hp. If they're running a turbo motor from a GT2 then 600-700hp is no problem, but that would not make sense for a detuned RGT.

I've been told by Tim van Parijs it's around 420 bhp. Only the two BMW 1 series have more bhp in Belgian Rallying. The old one around 460-480 and the new one over 500.

Motorsport News @MNmotorsport
The main story in this week's MN is news of an FIA crackdown on dangerous rally spectators.

Great to see the FIA finally take action on this matter. About time, and been for a while already.

To quote George W. Bush (don't worry, not my favorite of US presidents): hunt them down.
