Up where I live they would be useless because of the roads we have. But I agree with you if the price is right. And the footage from asphalt events in fast sections is quite nice.Quote:

Porsche 911 997 GT3 from Kris Rosenberger. And he was far from the battle for the victory, he is even not best RWD driver in this part of EU.....but Porsche is attractive, if you admit or not....Quote:

Strong result for Ciamin but what is the specification of that car? Should be different to R-GT?
It certainly is less restricted than the R-GT version. According to Milano Racing the GT+ version (which Ciamin was driving) has 340hp, quite a lot for only 1050kg. More info: https://www.milano-racing.com/vehicules-modernes
“Alpine announces its return to rally with a specific version of the A110, based on the A110 Cup, in partnership with Signatech.
Intended primarily for asphalt rallies, the Alpine A110 “Rally” will be presented in September.”
Fantastic news! Full PR:Quote:

World Champion in 1973, Alpine wrote some of the finest pages in its history in rally and the least that can be said is that its return to the special stages has been highly anticipated by many competitors and observers!
Signatech has been entrusted with the design, development and marketing of a rally version of the Alpine A110 from an overall framework defined by Alpine aimed at preserving the strengths and spirit of the production car. As for the GT4 and Cup, Philippe Sinault’s structure will work in close collaboration with the Alpine teams.
Based on the A110 Cup, this two-wheel drive version will produce nearly 300 horsepower. It is intended primarily for asphalt rallies and drivers looking for a fast, fun and easy to drive product. Its homologation and which category it will compete in is currently under discussion with the FFSA and the FIA. The technical specifications and price will be announced in September.
Available in the second half of 2019, the first examples of the Alpine A110 “Rally” will be delivered in two stages by the end of the year, first in France, then in Europe.

So it is not clear, if it is an R-GT car or something else?Quote:

Some of the first tests of the Alpine Rally
https://m.youtube.com/watch?fbclid=I...&v=R_G5QqyoafI
seems veeeery fast! faster than 911
Impressive for the first testing indeed. You can clearly see how light the car is. Also thanks to the mid-engine design it's very nimble.
In Lithuania there is one Porsche Cayman build for gravel rally: https://www.facebook.com/rallyelektr...type=3&theater
I hope you you are kidding...Quote:

That's not R-GT on the video. This car is much more powerful and much lighter than R-GT rules allow.Quote:

Well, dimvii compared Alpina with P911....Quote:

It might be the 50 000 difference, if the Cayman was to be sold for 200 000€, that made Porsche stop or wait with
the RGT project.
The A110 will be shown at this weekends Mont Blanc rally.
It will be hard to sell it in any meaningful numbers. You can buy used Fiesta R5 for 150 thousand. Some DS3 or 208 R5 are being offered for prices around 100 thousand Euro and despite that nobody buys them...
Delecour testing the Alpine. Video by video2rallye83: https://youtu.be/jFd2ItybZ7U
Looks fast with Delecour behind the wheel. Would be perfect with him in one of these in MC 20!!
Would also love to see Petter testing this one on gravel or snow! Petter lacks an Alpine in his collection!
Ciamin turn to test the Alpine. Nice pace! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=05Hd9IkMT1U
its very fast!
One team comes with Alpine in 2020:
