The minimum weight is 1200 kg with 6.5'' x 15'' or 7'' x
15'' wheels and 1150 kg with 18'' or 16'' wheels under the
conditions of Article 4.1 (and with only one spare wheel).

The combined minimum weight of the car (under the conditions of
Article 4.1 and with only one spare wheel) and crew (driver + codriver)
is 1350 kg with 6.5" x 15" or 7'' x 15'' wheels and 1300 kg
with 18" or 16'' wheels.

That could be good news for at least Toyota. In my knowledge Toyota had the biggest problems with the old weight limit.

As far as I know no S2000 car had less than 1150 kg on tarmac rallys so nothing changes...

Why have they done this? Bad news IMO as it will make the cars less agile.

It won't really help anyone as the teams will still spend money on weight saving - then any spare they can put in as ballast in all the right places.

RS: As I wrote before, that change will have no effect on cars because they all are even heavier than new limit. They just realized that old limit was unrealistic in terms of S2000 rulles.

Can someone translate the main idea of this text about the new Skoda Fabia S2000 ??? :confused:

Nothing important. Fabia S2000 is still in development, everything is going via planned time schedule and they aren't able to tell more now...

Chief of Skoda Motorsport wanted to tell more, but press office of Skoda-Auto censored it...

So let's write in this thread the latest news about S2000s... :D

Larry Cols in the Polo of René George team on the 2008 belgian rallies championship :bounce:

Michal Kosziuszko finally in a 207 on Rajd Magurski first event of the polish rallies championship :eek:

for all your info i left / quit RGRS on Monday and will take on a new challenge in Super 2000 with another manufacturer.... more info to follow.. you can read on my website. Greetings.

and concerning the Polo S 2000, nothing much will change this year, and i do not see a possible entry in the IRC, only Belgium and Austria is sure.
