Ah, did not see that it was a 00 car.
But I do expect it to come in R1 and R3 after a while. Lets see.
The 208 will play important role in the R1 / R2 categories...
Apparently slovenian driver Rok Turk will run ERC in a 208 R2 :confused:
Yes, he will do ERC with a 208 R2. Expect some 208 R2's in the Belgian championship too.. ;) And it would be nothing more than normal if the 207-volant in France will be replaced by a competition with 208's too. ;)
It's already official since several months that the 208 R2 is replacing the 207 R3 in France ;)
About twelve 208 R2s ordered by swiss drivers :eek:
Portuguese driver Renato Pita chose the 208 R2 for his rally campaign of 2013: he tested the car with Bryan Bouffier before decision ;)
Bruno Famin interview:
40 208 R2s sold already, national teams across Europe, also R5 news:

With OffShore Rally Team(Switzerland)it's possible to be offered a 208 R5 for season 2014(swiss championship) if you win the R2s in 2013 with one of the 208s from that team :cool:

Anyone knows if M-Sport already sold at least one 5-doors Fiesta R2? The car is homologated since July and until now I only saw 2-doors Fiestas :)
I heard that M-Sport are planning further development on the current R2 Fiesta.
Probably something like Fiesta R2 Max.
yes, it is true.Quote:

Have you got infos about these drivers who ordered it :confused:
One is in Finland and Jeppe can confirm that to You ;)
Tom do you have figures of Belgium? I think it could be around 5.
4 in Belgium + 2 in Luxemburg ;)Quote:

Thanks!
According to Autorally(Romania), Delecour's new "protégé" Bogdan Barbu(winner of Logan Cup)could drive a 208 R2 in ERC too :D
True! 1st test with 16" spikes was driven today in snowy Southern Finland. All I can say that the car is Great!Quote:

Great result by Anders Kjaer at Sigdals Rally this week-end(4th overall in his Twingo R2 Evo) :up:
First appearance of a Citroën C2 R2 Max in Norway(Rally Hadeland next week-end) :p :
Driver: Jens E. Eriksen
In Norway, Steve Rokland(Fiesta)wins ahead of Anders Kjaer in Rally Hadeland ;)
Superb Peugeot 208 1-2 in Monte-Carlo thanks to Lionel Baud and Arnaud Monnet :bounce:
What is said in Norway is that Fiesta has the best handeling and Twingo the best engine.
will the new 208 combine these two factors and come out as the best choice?
R2 now most exiting and expanding class in Norway.
70 cars ordered at Peugeot-Sport Vélizy until today !! ;)
I heard as well that the Fiesta R2 has the best handling and less engine power but this is normal for this car which was produced more for a single make trophy like FIA Academy. Actually the Fiesta R2 made some great SS time in WRC last season.
I suggest that the Twingo has max engine with about 195 HP.
Well, the new 208 would probably try to beat all other contenders in R2 category.
Peugeot Sport invested a lot in this car and with the current financial problems of PSA it's very important for them to make strong results.
Will there be one or two 208 R2s on entrylist of Saarema Ralli(Estonia), as there are normally two of them sold to driver/team of this country :confused:
For now, none on the pre-entrylist so far... :mark:
