Also Fabia has a number of evolutions over the years, but not the Fiesta if I remember correctly (do I???). Then they introduced the RRC which is something different altogether
Was Ford better and faster or was better and faster for his driving style?Quote:

I think the Fiesta S2000 was a good car, but very few people seemed to use it in IRC so it is quite hard to tell which is better.
Also the Fiesta S2000 was later than the Fabia so we have the opposite situation to now with the R5.
Fast spanish driver Miguel Fuster is aiming a Citroën DS3 "R5" for next year's spanish rally championship :D
Maybe R5 for Aigner in summer 2014: http://www.motorline.cc/rallye/2013/Div ... 84233.html
Any news on that Mitsubishi Space Star R5 show a few pages ago?
I was gonna say I hope it has died a death but this image doesn't look too bad

maybe that means I'm severely lacking in sleep, I don't know
That looks more close to a showcar than actually a test prototype! But anyhow, looks good! Keep us updated :)
Who will develop it? Mitsubishi themselves?
Swedish company Mparts.Quote:

01.01.2015 or 01.03.2015 at the latest I would imagine.
I think that most of us learned that nothing stated in koda PR shall be taken seriously :) They always don't know, haven't started, haven't thought about... and suddenly all is ready :)
Lol, yes. Like they "start work on the R5 next year" which has already been testing for months.
I saw some post of Sulland on another forum stating that the Mitsubishi will be homologated under national regulations? Not international.. Any update on that Sulland?
I sent an email to a swedish site to check if they had some news, since I have not seen any news on it lately!
Will post if I get a reply, but I guess the swedes in here have more control than me!
planetmarcus posted a picture on twitter and facebook of a camouflaged Skoda. It says that the car is the R5, but I think the photo looks old and the car seems to me an early version of the Fabia WRC

Yeah, that's not the R5.Quote:

I agree, it looks like a photo from 2003 or 2004, definitely not recent one :)
also old michelin tread pattern.
João Barros and autosport.pt lauched a contest, the winner design will be the 2014 season Ford Fiesta R5 deco: http://autosport.pt/crie-a-decoracao-do ... os=f116746
2 DS3 R5 ordered in Belgium, first one is for Godrive who will run it for Vincent Verschueren aiming for his first Belgian title!
Second one I guess it would be Caren Burton or MYRacing.
Against Freddy Loix he has no chance...Quote:

So far 3 Fiesta RC2 in Norway.
Larsen, Adapta
Try
Frustøl
Lets se if there will be more?

No S2000 NA or 1.6T in Norway (they are also RC2)Quote:

I don't think Subaru have a suitable car these days i.e. something small enough. However if Honda can make an R5 car from the Civic maybe an Impreza or WRX rally car is possible... I hope so anyway.
Toyota have said they won't do an R5 which is understandable - I doubt they have the capacity at TMG to add anything to their WRC and LMP1 projects together with the customer rally cars in the R1 and R3 classes. But there's no reason a Toyota supported independent can't build one...
I hope if Mitsubishi were to make a new rally car it won't be based on that Colt - Mitsubishi rally cars should always be saloons! Hopefully they can use the Renault based budget saloon that's due in a couple of years.

Honda will probably use the Jazz and not the Civic,
They are using the Jazz as eallycar in Australias G2 series.
I read in Motorsport News and Autosport that it'll be the Civic. However any speculation I read from the crayons of David Evans I don't believe until I see it for real
second car for symtech racingQuote:
