In @fernandoalbes, who revealed the information, we trust :p . In fact, he was in the South of France following Meeke's test (he recorded the video posted on the previous page). Shortly he will write an article about it.Quote:

BTW, Sordo will drive the car because Meeke is on his way to Australia, so I don't believe Sordo testing means anything about him staying in Citroën.
Where did you get that picture Martijn? :)
Before leaving, Meeke started to find the limits of the car...

Anyone has details about the rules concerning air intake and aerodynamics? I heard you can't make more holes in the engine hood etc... But if you look at the DS3, it has a massive "mouth" :D
Autotek are selling one Fiesta R5: M-Sport Fiesta R5. Rallycars.info
Well.. it seems that whatever car they are running..it breaks down.. I had a builder in my apartment a few months ago and he said.. there is nearly no price.. and the quality is the same;-)

P.S. No more photos, videos, driver interview or spectators comments yet :p .
Is that an oil cooler in the top part of the front bumper vent?

It looks like the DS3 will be homologated on the 1st of January, so there won't be any delay compared to the 208: "[...] DS3 R5 will be ready [...] from 1 January 2014, project head Alexis Avril has confirmed."

Mparts from Sweden is building a Mitsubishi Sapacestar R5 from scratch, with blessing from Mitsubishi.
It is for now ment for national homologation, but that might change.
Plan is to have it ready for the 2014 season in Sweden!
Spoke with Kosciuszko today about differences between Fiestas R5 and RRC. He said RRC turns better but R5 is little bit more powerful
Spacestar is fifteen years old MPV, it must be other car...Quote:

I think Sulland it's talking about the new Space Star/Mirage/ColtQuote:

The article is in spanish, but it's just to show the photos! At least here in Portugal the car has a small engine with just 80bhp!
Aha, thanks, I didn't know about this car.
Story about it in a swedish motorsport magazine. Engine from Lancer Evo, i don't know the english word for it, but they reduced from 2.0 to 1.6 Sadev gearbox and Öhlins suspension. And as Sulland were saying, for now only national homologation but in the text it says only the drivers seat differs from FIA required homologation. Price will be 1.250.000 SEK (143.000 Euro)

One more Fiesta to Italy (A-Style).

Fabia 3 road car built from week 24 2014 (sometime in June I think) so we should see the real deal Fabia R5 not too long after that I guess :)
RS: Where are your informations from? Such exact term :)
Czech forum at garaz.autorevue.cz
They are normally very accurate with such information :)
In my opinion the date is too early.
Could it be that the first versions will be built then but full production won't be under way until a bit later? Ie. the Rapid Spaceback started production at the end of August but it won't be on sale in CZ until October.Quote:

I hope for at least a 140bhp 1.4TSI in the "normal" range.
??rek,before 4 years we ordered 3 evo 9 rs for some friends.Cars werent available at Greece,and we have to wait next import from Japan.At the day of order at Greece they knew the week exactly the cars will be build(not available also at Japan at this moment) some 5 months earlier.Quote:
