Rally 3 class

They were both surprised how the car behave in general. Kasperczyk - easy to drive from the very beginning, you jump in and feel the car immediately. Wróblewski - you can feel low weight of the car, as 2WD, but 4x4 helps a lot and gives stability. Both saying that it is perfect step between 2WD and Rally2 and regrets that similar option wasn't available few years ago, when they started with R5.

I was on the test ;) and from our point of view (I mean specators/media - guys watching cars next to the road) it is very nice car. It looks and sounds very nicely. After the ride I can not say much, because I am not a rally driver. But I was impressed how the car took the muddy section.

Is the Rally3 using the same Pirellis as the Rally2, or a different one?

pretty much what you just wrote ;) Most of the drivers were suprised by the ease of adapting to this car right from the first kilometers, they also said the suspension does a good job

I saw Sottozerro for gravel/ice stage and Cinturato for circuit.

I guess so... in the appendix J you can see that the same rims are allowed for both classes - 6"X15"

I was hoping they could run it as coursecar in Arctic Rally, but maybe too late.

FIA has no March homologation day...

Next one is in April but maybe it was homologated in January.

WRC Arctic Rally has only 1 tyre for all 4wd cars, so even WRC uses same one than Rally3

Gravel one could be different type but size is same what WRC cars use, 205/15"

So guessing FIA have quarterly homologation dates. Is next one 1 april then?

Next Finnish Championship event O.K Auto ralli (March 5-6th) has entry from

M-Sport Poland Generic:


Ken Törn Ford Fiesta

(Class6: newWRC, R-GT, Rally3 + other FIA spec even without valid homologations)
