Grøndal testing new R5 on snow

I was at the autosport show birmingham thursday and Friday.
There was a nice wall with all the prices of various cars.

Stephane Pustelnik! Damn it, I didn't even know that he was still active in rallying! I remember him driving his beautiful Renault Maxi Megane in the French championship. Thanks for the news Tom!
By the way - his last name is Polish and it means a recluse or a hermit :)

Last year Pustelnik drove a 207 S2000 in a few french events and was then codriven by his daughter Léa ;)
He did Alsace too: http://ewrc-results.com/profile.php?...hane-Pustelnik
To be totally honest, Stephane is not interesting for me, but Léa could be.
5 new Fiesta R5 soon at Italy :) Well done Mr. Wilson
Tagai selling the rebuilt 208 R5.
Familiar story?: http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/117388
Different one...with R5 they are fast but not reliable...in Dakar they where reliable(finish) but they where not fast...Peugeot Sport is not what they used to be...Quote:

Not enough testing. Do they really have the budget? Especially for 3 cars? That is why they pulled the 908 LMP programme. The Pikes Peak project was relatively cheap - the car was a 'parts bin special'.
Jonathan Greer drove for the first time a Citroën DS3 R5 last week-end in the "New Year Stages Rally" in UK...was it his new car or a rented one :confused:
Brand new car. Built by his family's DGM company.Quote:

Plenty of Craig Breen & other R5 action here during testing at Monte Carlo... http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2f...equipages_auto
SD pic (still no rear bumper on the 208 ;) )

Mitsubishi R5 test. Sounds like a Lancer EVO gr A with ALS from Gr A era!

I like that sound man!
Were the R5's more reliable in Monte Carlo, especially the PSA ones?
Well they finished!Quote:

Now they just need to put the engine and other mechanicals into a saloon body instead of that pensioner's shopping trolley!Quote:
