We have a class called V1600, which is almost a showroom class. Only modifications allowed except the safety and reinforcement are “one way adjustable” dampers, brake pads, break pipes. The ECU is free as long it’s interchangeable with the original one. The cars don’t have to homologated as long they are commercial available in the EU countries. That’s why here are cars not so common in rallies, for example a Alfa-Romeo 147.

BTW it would be interesting to know what national “homologation” there are different countries?

It's silly we're still talking about N class, which is something of the last century. N4 is just R4, just like the S2K and the 1.6T will be...

Proper ProductionWRC should be with R1 (which do not exist right now, I know): this would make a cheap and slow car championship for young and or gentleman drivers drivers to learn and for the adventure of rallying.

A true Junior championship could be made with R2/R3 cars, the last stage for young drivers before coming to WRC for example.

Are these rules, I mean R1/R2/R3/R4 classes already approved and when will they become implemented?

This sounds like a nice class to me, already found the website: http://www.v1600.com/

Even Loeb was there in his young year :p
