Rally2 (ex-R5) News

Looking at M-sport which has been successful bringing out R1, R2, R3, R5, R2400 and WRC-cars ay manufacturer could see they gain lots of PR having many and popular rallymodels. This doesn´t answer the very first quotes about Mitsu, but could be the solution which has to come.

Edit: I know it sounds quite weird above, but more models and brands shapes the market for rallycars.

Funny fact: It is 1st April today and Skoda motorsport still haven´t confirmed officially they homologate the new Fabia R5 today. They also haven´t announced plan of two from three official drivers. In fact everything we know are rumours except Tidemand driving APRC.

You're completely right Rallyper. The lack of interest from the motor industry over rally sport it isn't entirely due to marketing orientations or production methods. FIA has to do their work and put in place policies to make the sport more accessible to all, sharing it between manufacturers and private competitors from all levels, because that’s the central spirit of this sport.

Btw, maybe it was then seen as utopic, but Monte Carlo organizers struggled against the 9 to 5 clover format and managed to implement a rally route closer to their event roots.

Chassis 108 to Tomasz Kuchar :)
