The Subaru cup cars in Norway use E85. They are not Gr N, but a re-mapped original engine. They are 280 hp and 580 nm.
But with full Gr N tuning, 33 mm restrictor and E85 re-map they should be potent. But not sure how much they take out on a full Gr N petrol today ?
But on a normal road car, they say E85 give 5-20% increase in hp using e85.

Clearer now that FIA announced R4 is go, everyone now awaits the R4 changes from N4.Quote:

Camshafts with no variable timing
Pistons (I don’t know if they even need new pistons)
Connecting rods (as with the pistons)
Fuel system
ECU
Exhaust manifold & pipes
Similar interior as S2000
Bigger breaks
Hub carriers
Propeller shaft
Steering
Those allowed in group N (Anti roll bars, clutch, dampers, springs, struts, flywheel, hydraulic handbrake, mechanical LSDs, drive shafts etc.)
Something else?
What I’ve found out beside what Mirek told about 5-gear gearbox is smaller brakes and slightly more freedom to upgrade the suspension and modifications to the body shell.Quote:

But what is obvious is that at least the Citroen C2 Base and Ford Fiesta R2 aren’t utilizing the regulations fully. The prices for the R2 kits are 18.400 € / 19.300 € (Citroen tarmac / gravel) and 23.500 € (both tarmac and gravel).
The R2 kit’s price for Renault Twingo is 27.990 € for tarmac (additional gravel kit 7.500 € ;) .
The R2 kit’s price for Citroen C2 Max is 34.000 € (both tarmac and gravel) which is 15.600 € more compared to the Citroen C2 Base tarmac kit.
On the other topic.
R3D being 2 litre diesel with 32mm restrictor.
An avenue for VW with Scirocco or Golf?
R3T 1.6 turbo petrol with 29mm restrictor.
An avenue for MINI Cooper S and Fiesta that could get a 1.6 turbo petrol engine for the road car as announced yesterday.
All good, but these cars as rally cars will be oversahdowed by the WRC category cars. So they could not happen as manufacturers not interested in being the slow categories in the WRC.
Cooper S probably will happen. David Richards said on totalrally radio that they will make R3 car.
R3T?Quote:

The news of the R4 category should be announced soon yes?
Is there any homologated car in R1A class? Is the Twingo the only one in R1B nowadays? Thnx in advance
