Did not check linkedin, and there it shows he is Motorsport manager Renault group, Iberia.
So hopefully he knows.
They should try for 1 jan, so buyers could get a car from the start of the season.
So who is next in line? Toyota have given signals they will go Rally2 before Rally3, so are there others that will get in before Toyota?
Stellantis, Skoda or Proton maybe?
“To be ready as soon as possible is a big challenge,” Benoît Nogier, Renault Sport’s customer racing director, told DirtFish.
“We are discovering a bit this new category. It will be the first time for Renault to have a four-wheel-drive car. We are working hard and we should have the first test in a few weeks.”
So, they will start testing soon. Hopefully will we get some films here, from a french "spy" !:p
Latvala said first that they would go 3 then 2. But I feel I remember that he swapped to getting rally2 finished first, but I might have had a bad dream !
So if they go Rally3 first, will you guess they homologate before or after Renault?
But if Ford will be alone for 1 year+, they might sell 100 Rally3 before anyone else enter the market.
When was the JWRC wintertest in Norway taking place?
This week or next week?
... and the debut rally was not bad at all! Laskowski was 14th overall in last weekend's Rally Sarma in Latvia. He was best among all (2) Rally3 cars, nearly 1 minute quicker than Dmitry Feofanov. Not bad for a 16-year old kid.
The overall winner was Teemu Asunma from Finland.
