it is written that mitsubishi plans to homologate r4 kit on 1st january 2011.
they also write that Araujo's car in Monza had different gearbox (sequential as it was written on the forum some time ago), modificated drivetrain and brakes.
Any videos showing Araujo in Monza? Maybe onboards? :DQuote:

“We have looked at, although it does not fall within the World Commission of all, how to help the national series. N group seems to die in the future at international level. We admitted to N4 a number of technical innovations to the championship, so-called 'new R-group context. Of course, these exemptions wont make N4 car competitive against Super 2000 cars, but we are trying to the end.
None of the included car manufacturers do not want to give the Japanese any more concessions because in fact, the Japanese automotive industry is not actually involved in rally driving at all. I understand their views on the championship, but in the national championships the category should be given some “artificial respiration” for few years.”
From seeing some photos of an R3 Citroen DS3 interior photos.
The dash is a non standard super lightweight special. Will the R4 Evos and Imprezas also be allowed this?

WRC article about future of group R. not a lot of interesting things in it but still worth reading I think
Gearbox is 6-speed sequential operated via paddle shifter (I think electro-pneumatic similar to Honda Civic R3). Power is officially 210 Hp @ 4750 rpm and torque 350 Nm @ 3500 rpm.Quote:

Well, it's December and we now all wait for the official info from FIA on R4 restrictor size and the final regs of what Mitsubishi and Subaru will be following.
Lets hope the R classes are kept well defined
R1 - up to 1.6 near 'standard' 2WD
R2 - up to 1.6 with modifications 2WD
R3 - up to 2 litre petrol 2WD
R3T - 1.6 turbo petrol 2WD 29mm
R3D - 2 litre turbo diesel 2WD 32mm
R4 - 2 litre turbo petrol 4WD 33mm at the moment
Super Production to be seperate to R classes?
I would add R1 up to 1.4 (R1A) or 1.6 (R1B) and R2 up to 1.6 (R2B) or 2.0 (R2C)Quote:
