His budget for 2014 is not sure yet, so still not sure what car he will use in 2014, but surely he would like to drive R5Quote:

Expected, but too bad. They will loose business from this, from all teams that need their R5 for the season startup, that in many countries are before March/April.
The most important thing is that ERC will have four events in first three months of the year...
Situation is still the same, nothing changed. Date of homologation is not set yet, but should be for one car on 1st January...Quote:

BTW, they are testing few days in Zlin region...
I'm too far away...
I am not so far away, but in last days I was "running" around papers for Valais, so I had no time too, despite I planned to visit them...
Super,very nice sound, when Fabia R5 will be approved?
Not before 2015Quote:

How many can they produce a month?
What parts (other than the engine, obviously) of this car are actually R5-spec?Quote:

Its ALS sounds more 'rough' than 208 and Fiesta R5, but I suppose there will be long before it is finally homologated.

Nevermind "sounds more rough", you can't hear it at all on the other two.
But I don't understand what the point would be testing this engine if it was not compliant with the R5 rules, unless it is a test WRC/RRC engine tuned to simulate the characteristics of an R5 engine, but even that seems pointless when it is not running in the new chassis!
Will the Fabia 3 debut in Paris in october?Quote:

Only Škoda knows but it shall be all R5 except the bodyshell. Obviously the gearbox isn't 6-speed S2000 one, the gears are too long for that.Quote:

Great loosers will be ERC winter cup rallies, at least the first two rallies (Jänner and Latvia).
First three rallies...Quote:

Peugeot officially informed customers that the homologation of 208 T16 is postponed to 1st March. I wonder what they will do with first two or even three ERC events...
Let’s hope that as many as possible who have ordered a R5 have a S2000 to use in the first rallies and for those who haven’t, Peugeot should give them one. ;)
I’ve understood that the R5 have better performance compared to a S2000 so the S2000 drivers would have a disadvantage during the first rallies.
It really depends who is driving the R5s. In the end I don't think it will matter too much.
