Yup!

According to Armindo Araujo, the only diferences of this car to the WRC one, is the rear wing, the rear windows (glass on the SP version, and peliglass in the WRC) and my guess the front bumper (because according to FIA it must be different from the SP one)

Are the Minis then in class 1 only because they have the S2000 aero package?

Thanks, so it's as I thought. That's good for us because Portugal will give us quite real image of Mini WRC speed.

Not against factories but there will be a lot of others. Of course I understand Your remark but it will still be much more useful to see it like this than with small restrictor.

N.O.T

Since i am an expert at judging performance by video only (predicted both that the ford is slower than the citroen and the new wrcs slower than the old) i say that this car will not go far....looks more like an s2000 when accelerating out of the corners...entry speed is ok. Of course the driver is an important factor and armindo is pretty average for WRC standards...but we will see.

Very nice on board camera though....you can even see the feet of the drivers hope they use it for their official cars as well.
