I did meet Fabia R5 "experts" this weekend.
They had spare parts lists and all dimencions.
EVO has even different doors than old R5 (the cutting is different)
btw. EVO has still 100% winning and new Fiesta not even single podiums...
Early days for Fiesta.. Estonia was it’s first proper event right?
Next test will be ERC Rome next weekend. Campedelli is a strong driver so should be a good benchmark.
Estonia was definitely a disappointment though. Looked visibly slower than the Fabia and Polo in the videos. Also seems very quiet (quieter than Fabia even)
Indeed, Cempedelli will be a perfect benchmark. I hope he wins....Quote:

Between 0.5 and 1.0 secs/Km slower than the previous generation Fabia.Quote:

This would then appear to compromise the speed that the jumps could be taken.
Looks like there's a lot of work to do.
