Ford Fiesta R5 for Tomasz Kuchar:
http://rajdy.autoklub.pl/news/kuchar...il-barwy,60570
Should be chassis 103 or 104 to Moura ;)
Will be interessting to se the first results of the Fabia, if it has both speed and emdurance I will bet a lot of cheap PSA R5s will come on the market!
Best looking R5 so far. I know press conference on the 15th but any ideas when it will turn a wheel in anger? Mirek?
Like we are telling for a long time, first start should be at the end of April on first round of Czech championship, Rallye Sumava Klatovy.Quote:

Hope you enjoyed Ireland (apart from the timing problems).
The wheel arches and overall design are great, the exhaust is little weird.Quote:

It was interesting to see how quick Barrable and Kajto were in the private R5 Fiesta's vs Breen's factory 208T16. I think the Ford's are improving with age ...Quote:

How many cars Skoda has already built?
I'm sure M-Sport is waiting with jokers for Škoda as You say.Quote:

Does anyone know how many parts they can nominate and how many may be changed per year?
Ib Kragh will debut his Citroën DS3 R5 on Rallye Vogelsberg next weekend
Koci's R5 208T16 for remaining WRC2 2015 campaign:

Does anybody know whether trt.hu team bought new car(s) or is it still that one from last year? Hoping for less mechanical failures for Koci this year. He is fast, but he has to show it. I mean less mechanical failures in comparison with failures of all P208R5T16 last year :-)
It is new car for Koci.Quote:

No. That's exactly the problem of this sport. Nobody understands it anymore and nobody is able to follow all the changes and the whole chaos that comes with them.Quote:

The use of a part homologated as “Joker” on a car will be noted on its technical passport.
It will no longer be possible to use the old part as from the date specified.

New test of Kopecký with Fabia R5: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EOdPC9sFiqo
Skoda will be testing in north of Portugal from 18 to 22 April...Loix,lappi,tidemand will be the drivers
I don´t know why but I have strange feeling that Loix will drive some international events on Tarmac for Skoda this year. I think the cooperation is very tight. We will see.
I would like to see Loix do an ERC programme and Kopecky some tarmac events in WRC. Soon, we will know...Quote:

That has been reported here for some time.. we can expect to see them on Ypres and Barum though.Quote:
