Yaris S2000? S2000 are no longer homologated, only R5.
Both wrong :)Quote:

The car weights in stock version 200 kg less than minimum weight for R4 car. You would need to place 200 kg of ballast there, why? Another point is that R4 is going to be banned in the future and production cars will turn back to N4 only.
S2000 is still allowed to be homologated if it is fit with 1.6T engine which is the case of Yaris. All 1.6T WRC cars are homologated as S2000.
And weight/windth to R3?
Ups, forgot the S1600T.
R3 2.0 NA have a minimum weight 1080 kg which looks achievable with GT86 to me. There was even one reasonably heavier and still successful R3 car - Honda Civic R3.Quote:

It needs competition from other RWD cars, what about the Subaru BRZ? And others?? Maybe the FiA have a RWD class planned.... Toyota wouldn't build it if there wasn't a market for it.
There wasa R-GT class in the works for RWD cars, but I'm not sure how it turned out...
