Rally2 (ex-R5) News

And WRC2 :)

Just watched some videos of the East Belgian Rally shakedown, and Cherain's DS3 R5 sounds very different, somewhere between the old and the WRC sound. Does anyone know if it's by accident, or is there some kind of a new part (exhaust, etc)?

There's hardly anything wrong on the video but it feels that it's so perfect that it's boring... at least for me.

He sounded different when the rear bumper went off.

I'm impressed by Bergkvist performance with an "old" car FWD vs R5&wrc 4wd...power is 250hp?

I found some photos of the Mirage. It doesn't look very impressive...

I'm impressed too, especially after I found photos of Bergkvist's car. It is even older than I thought, it comes from the nineties!

In previous events Johansson was able to match other R5 cars, maybe he got some problems in Uppsala.

The little Mirage seems more impressive in video...https://youtu.be/gcHGH-bct_4
