Why are they testing the R5 engine in an R3 car when the R5 has already been presented?
The R5 presented was just a show car not a real one.
Anyway this overpowered FWD is a car for real man. I like it :) By the way I think it's a road which Peugeot normally use for pre-Barum testing, very Czechish :-D
So it's not going to be 208R5 under DS3 bodyshell, they're building the engine (and gearbox?) too
But I thought the DS3 R5 had actually already been tested by Meeke?
It was probably only engine-related test (durability?) so why not to use existing R3 when the engine is maybe 90% identical?
Any news on the Skoda R5 Mirek, have they started on the engine and/or suspension package on a mule?
When will the motorsport dept be given a new version Fabia shell to build and test with?
I suppose it's better than a test bench.. but I can't say I share your enthusiasm for that video Mirek. The sound is nice, but it's not revvy enough and the handling with the front wheel drive car is dull even if it has too much power.Quote:
