Olivier Quesnel: "Concerning the competition/client department we’re interested in a possible ‘FIA R4’ set of regulations, which will help to develop R3-type cars with 4-wheel drive. It would be a fantastic tool for training young drivers.”
Is this Citroen saying there is a possibility of a 4wd road car so it can become R category ?
Jari Ketomaa tested the new Subaru Impreza R4 in England on Wednesday and Thursday. His first impressions are that R4 is a distinct leap forward from N4.
Testing contract would allow him to start rallies with Impreza R4, but the contract doesn't rule out rallying in other makes. Ketomaa says he's constantly negoating to drive WRC rallies.
