JAM did you forget that FIA says that after 1/1/2011 you can only homologate s2000 with 1.6 t engine..That is it,that is the Mini, why you are so worried that the new s2000 with 1.6T are called s2000,that does not matter...

Prodrive have spoke about creating a R3T Mini Cooper S.
They will work on the MINI WRC first though. Does anyone know the deal with BMW and Prodrive? Will BMW go rallying it alone after a few years?
No, i don't remember that.Quote:

After that, only WRC 1.6T would be homologated, and the WRC would have a downgraded version called "super production SP".
No, JAM.Quote:

Skoda is working on the Fabia with the new engine and they don't have a wrc version to downgraded.
If Ford will homologate a new Fiesta S2000 with the new 1600 turbo engine, they will switch the engine and will not make a downgrade version from the Fiesta WRC. There´s many diferent things in both cars.
Mini built a Countryman WRC and also is buiding an S2000 with a 1600 turbo engine. It's two diferent cars.
FIA talks about S2000 no matter if it’s with 2000 cc NA engine or 1.6T engine.Quote:

No, the WRC and S2000 (SP) version are identical cars except that the WRC has bigger rear wing, different front bumper, uprated front brakes.Quote:

So, there you are. No major differneces between WRC and S2000. So that could mean we see more DS3: s and Fiestas S2000 built by satellite-teams?Quote:

I think there are also some people that don't WANT to understand the situation, it is explained many different times by many different people and still people don't WANT to understand. It is not THAT difficult in my opinion. :D
