Citroen DS3 R1 has only tarmac kit? no gravel kit?
Any latest news fro all the R groups?
What will happen to R4? Will they allow any road car with 4WD 1.6 turbo to be homologated into it?
Mini Countryman/Paceman would make an ideal R4 car.
R5 is nearly ready by some works teams, will VW be having an R5 car?
I don't think so, it would be SkodaQuote:

Wrong :) The rules don't say You must use maximum allowed engine capacity. If You have stock 4x4 car with 1.6T engine it can be homologated either in N4 or R4 class but of course it will have a handicap against 2.0T Lancers and Imprezas.
Ahh, Just been going under the assumptionthey had to be 2.0 :D Especially as the 2.5 litre european market WRXs weren't used for the base car. But then 2.5 would be ridiculous!
we allow up to 2.5 engines (my car uses a 2.2 subaru engine) here and there is a slight advantage with torque but because of the restrictor they make the same power as smaller engines. Larger engines just choke themselves at a lower rpm than a smaller engine.Quote:
