Lets see if he can get a budget for some international rallies this year.

The turbo engines are inevitable but I really prefer the old-style atmospheric engines...

Yes, the NA engines do have better sound. A turbo engine can also be good with a fuller sound, as long it’s loud enough with high revs. It will be interesting to se… hear the three cylinder engine.

190hp from a 1L, 3 cylinder engine sure isn't bad either. Hope it's reliable! Will be interested to hear the sound, wonder if it's a little unusual sounding like 5 cylinder engines.

Trabant had a two-stroke, two cylinder engine.

Promising car? For who? For Malcolm's business? :)

For beating the other R2's.. For Wilson it's no question. With some cups running it's not a risk to make a new R2.
