In good hands the car is quite spectacular.
Of course and as always. I see a lot of people complaining about R5 being not spectacular. Funny thing that when the S2000 class first appeared you could hear the same complaints, now when it's almost gone people say it more spectacular.Quote:

The 208 and DS3 R5 are sure spectacular to watch, but to me it seems the rear end is to loose.

Very good braking in comparison with s2000
All diffs are mechanical, no eletronic's help
News just in: the Peugeot 208 T16 is today danish champion thanks to Christian Jensen who won the Danboring Rally ;)
But he was alone in R5 class though(main contender was IB Kragh in an S2000) :mark:
Are t16 and Ds 3 r5 exactly the same technicalli?
If no what are different?

The autosport guys sometimes post/print their dreams...this time they're saying Toy and Hyundai are secretly developing R5 cars!
Is there any credible clue on this?
BTW. What about Opel and Renault?
Renault told on rallye-magazine.de they don't want to develop R5.Quote:

Is it different with Peugeot and Citroėn? I don't think so. Their 4WD sales are also very limited, maybe in percentage even smaller than those in Renault.
Renault has limited resources and find developing an R5 taking too long and too much resources.
This was the article http://www.rallye-magazin.de/rallyes...ten/index.html
No more Things R2, will be replaced by a Dacia model.
Sandero R2..??Quote:

Last year Pluto said people from Hyundai were thinking about R5 but if they will decide to do it, they must definitely wait for i20 2015 to be revealed. So now it is the right time to start the work...so I belive it could be true.
Nasser said they contacted him for a contract, so if they were looking for a driver I suspect they have extensive work on the project already.
Nasser is the guy who said he had a contract with VW a few years back... LOL...
Good news if Hyundai is coming.. I was a bit worried the Peugeot debacle might have scared others off building an R5 car.
And he had.......for Dakar.Quote:

It's weird to self quote a post, but I must say how amazing it's to see Autosport getting this scoop! They usually pick uncertain rumours in the web claiming to got them from reliable sources, but this times they actually did! Nice job...let's hope their Yaris R5 tip could also become real.Quote:

According to this article Toyota is developing a rear drive R5 car?

Probably a typo I think.Quote:

It's written (if it's possible with a set of crayons) by David Evans, he writes absolute bollocks like this in both Autosport and Motorsport News. Take everything he writes with a pinch of salt
Why make a RWD R5, does that make sense?Quote:

Rumours about 3 Skoda to Portugal. Well one is for sure to Pedro Meireles and the others? Maybe Joćo Barros will sell no one, but the two Fiesta and buy 2 Fabia.
I've heard another version for Joćo Barros and his uncle's plans.Quote:
