DS3 RRC available for Monte in WRC spec?
Most likely linked to the 2015 homologation. In the time when Kubica was using DS3 RRC the normal WRC car had no hydraulic gearbox. This was changed in 2015 and I guess the modifications done on Kubica's car in that time are not compatible with the later WRC spec.Quote:

Seems changes are occurring at Hyundai
Caution this may be connected to Día de los Santos Inocentes - December 28th is Spanish equivalent of April Fools Day
The SLR driver will be Thierry Folb, he will do the full JWRC.Quote:

Manufacturers must nominate a driver at the start of the season who will score points on at least 10 rounds. I think he is only saying Sordo is that driver, it's due to the rules of entering a Manufacturer Team.Quote:

The other two are unknown quantities for next year. If Neuville gets his brain back on track and stops overdriving and crashing, which I think may happen if the new car is fast, then they will keep him nominated. If he continues like he ended last year and Paddon finishes rallies then they can switch them. I think they are looking at these two scenarios as most likely. They only have a problem in scenarios where Sordo scores less points than the other two but even then they have some flexibility.
Yazeed will start Arctic Rally with Fiesta WRC, most likely as a preparation for Rally Sweden.
Just a good guess ! ;)Quote:

that's just bullshit. reversing the handbrake and moving the paddle switch from the right to the left is hardly a few hours work. if the fia approved it for the fiesta, there's no reason they wouldn't approve it for the ds3.Quote:

What I mean is is that car available to be converted in time to compete? Is it available?Quote:
