Well, according to http://rajdy.autoklub.pl/news/mitsub...startuje,59526 Martin Berglund, who was supposed to drive Mitsubishi R5 on Vinterpokalen, said that their car wasn't accepted by the Swedish federation and it stops their rally program in the Swedish championship. In a bitter way he also sent his congratulations to all the people who were against this project.
Well, in his FB page, he said that, and then shared the news that I posted in here. I'm going to ask a friend of mine that knows him. Hope the project goes forward and can see this car running some ERC events as well.
Love the livery concept:

As I interpret Berglund he was just pissed since he had planned to run the chapionship, and now misses a round.
i guess doing a national homologation also takes some time.
Does anybody have other news, or inside information?

Didn't MEM have mentioned something back in the day about a Proton R5 effort?
reason for non approval rumors say was TIG instead of MIG welded cage. So small potatoes to fix I guess!Quote:
