Officially it is 210 hp with fuel from normal gas station, but i was on presentation of DS3 after Rallye du Var and one engineer from Citoren Racing told that car has arround 235-240hp on racing fuel.

Aha, thanks

What date is the FIA announcement for the R4 final regs?

finally just weight reduction(also spares can move for better balance ie battery in trunk) and changes in subframes-arms for more suspension travel.Also top point of suspension can move up to 20mm(caster wise)
So no sequential dog-boxes or bigger restrictors.Written in Greek forum.

IMO the biggest problem with N4 is the driveability that is caused by less suspension travelling compared to S2000 and too small brakes vs. the weight. If the upper suspension attachment point can be moved to favour better caster will help in better stability in driving. Of course the power vs. weight is also very important issue.
