Would IMO be a good investment from Alpine to hire a good driver for a couple of ERC/WRC rallies as promotion.

All WRC Juniors get the new Fiesta Evo in Sardinia...
https://www.wrc.com/en/news/2023/jun...-evo-in-italy/
Are they getting new cars, or have the ones they have driven been upgraded?
Will the evo's be marked as evos in the ewrc db?
All new except Hamzar that it was old spec upgraded.
How much did the price go up for the Evo?
Not bad at all

Renault Clio Rally3 wins again. This time in Ypres Rally in Belgium, where Benoit Verlinde finishes in the first position in his class and 22nd place overall. Second place in this category goes to the great Patrick Snijers with Ford Fiesta Rally3:

So on the Rallye Weiz there are a bunch of Fiesta Rally3 entered as FIA Rally Star. Where else are those crews usually entered?
Thanks!Quote:

While Italian legend Andreucci’s experience of the Rally di Roma Capitale stages is vast, the Motorsport Italia-run Clio Rally3, which was equipped with MRF Tyres, was an all-new experience for the veteran driver. He therefore spent the event on a development mission.
“It’s a good car but we start the work only on this rally so it’s very new,” said Andreucci, a multiple Italian champion and ERC event winner. “The car is fun, the brake and gearbox are fantastic. The damper and the set-up, we must do the development, adjust some things and also the set-up with the tyre but we improved during the day.”
In Italy we saw another bad performance of the new Renault Clio Rally3 in the ERC. On previous occasions we could blame it on an unexperienced driver (Paulo Soria), but this time it was the famous Paolo Andreucci, who lost nearly 4 minutes to Armstrong. Strange.

Do anyone know the topspeed of the two Rally 3 cars, with highest gearing classed?
There is a lot of topspeed driving in Finland, so here topspeed matters.
And also the tyres is a factor to be taken into consideration. Apparently these MRF tyres have been developed quite a lot for Rally2 cars, but for the Rally3 was still a first iteration from a few years back.Quote:

Finland has one of the most healthy Rally3 classes in their championship, so would be a good measurement.
