Are the homologation plans for the newcomers like this:
Proton Iriz, April 18
Citroen C3, April 18
VW Polo, July/August 18
I believe that Proton is homologated already, others must be like that, otherwise impossible to drive Corsica with C3 and WRC Germany with Polo.Quote:

So FIA changed their minds again..
Sorry my bad, to NON FIA events
So drivers can use the paddles in non FIA events, but not in FIA events.
So they will have to be removed for FIA events?
Is the stickshift fully functional i paralell with paddles on all R5 cars?
Or are some gearboxes fully dual-functional and some not?
On the WRCars some stickshifts can not be used directly if the paddles start to cheat, or not work at all.
Or is the case that this only occur when the fault is in the gearbox itself, and not in the transfer machanism?
Anyway FIA does not make it easy for the drivers. In some rallies they can use paddles and in some not. Not always easy to understand the logic behind some policy decisions ...

it's just own M-Sport idea, tested already long time ago. They decided to offer upgraded R5 for non-FIA events, so R5+ (or even 2,0l R5), now they offer also paddle shift. It's just conversion, so you can remove it and drive FIA event easily.
