Villagra drives a Fiesta WRcar in the Argentina championship or a S2000 Fiesta?
I think Villagra´s Fiesta will be Argentina´s own Maxi Rally Class car...Quote:

Yes, he'll drive the Fiesta under the Maxi Rally specification.
Thin entry list..
Yep, Villagra and most of Argentinean drivers have turned to our own Maxi Rally class.
This will have another not so good aspect, Argentinean round of the WRC will suffer lack of our drivers, except Villagra, off course. The rest will take part of the national round, not counting for the wrc, so running after all wrc starters and not in official classification, they will only do first passes for each stage.
<regarding Munchis an popularity, not at all, no news on them and no real followers, just Perez Companc hobby.
Villagras drives quite strage in WRC, slow but not even safer than in national championship (he has very few crashes in his career).
lets wait for Mexico, Novikov return is for sure more interesting for me!!, but i am one of the fewto folow Villagras pace.
I started to like Villagra seriously after I went the rally NZ last year. I saw him on the special stage around the auckland museum and I thought he was very smooth away form the line and took all the corners very well. I have a feeling that he is actually quite fast in the wrc car but he is made to slow down for one reason or another. Also I really like drivers that do not crash as I think it looks bad for expensive cars like the wrc cars to be ruined on tv, I do not want wrc to look like f1 has in recent years
