Must say the Fiesta is a one good looking car in rally trim
Looks great
Elfyn Evans blog - year so far and Portugal/ Sardinia ahead...

Gus Greensmith says M-Sport's Ford Fiesta WRC car now 'makes sense' to him ahead of his World Rally Car debut in Portugal this weekend, having felt like the car was from "another world" when he first tested it.

M-Sport need a Team-Captain.
The car is a winner, but none of the drivers are yet.
yeah, they need Ogier :D
Or Tanak back.
Or Evans is just behind all of these three.
How would Latvala fare, I wonder?

The price of the R1 made a big jump

For a reason. The car is way better equipped than the DS3 R1.Quote:

Anyone knows how much the Adam Cup car cost?
Let's look at it from this point of view. previously Fiesta R2 was always somewhat R2 light car, cheaper and slower than the top R2 cars and it was used for many one make cups. Now the new R2 is a top notch car which is of course very expensive for the one make cups hence the need for something cheaper for them - this R1.
In the end we really come to the pretty much same combo as Opel had.
I though around 35.000 euro, or maybe a bit more ..

They list at €39000 but when purchased through entry to the ADAC Adam Cup the price was €26000.Quote:

Thanks, Opel made some modifications to make it cheaper at the cost of it not being FIA eligible car (fuel tank for example).Quote:

Adam cup car has also Sadev sequential gearbox.
EDIT: Maybe You meant the Adam, right?
I just got an important info...
It is possible to upgrade this R1 to a full-spec. R2.
That brings the situation even further than Opel managed. It allows this car for a young driver to grow with him. I think that this justifies the higher price a lot!
Show Neuville this view Bryan ! ;)

I might be wrong, but wasn´t that the case with Adam too? Upgrading was possible from Adam Cup to R2 specification, I mean.Quote:

Huge. In Italy also general car industry production is down 17% last three months (if I remember right).Quote:

Sorry, but who are they? At least I do not recognise them.
A Lithuanian driver who has driven previously Evo's and such in local events, last year switched to R2 and WRC events only.
He is ether fast or accident prone... but anyhow, spectacular to watchQuote:
