There is written, that they are working on homologation with accordance to schedule and they are sure soon will be car ready. So, it is only press talk saying nothing...

Which of these four drivers is the likely winner of this "shootout" for the second Peugeot Spain seat?

Interesting !!! From 2008 in portuguese/Madeira championship the S2000s have a group/class change !!! They become "A8" instead of "N4"... :mark:

By technical and logical way S2000 are everything except group N car.

Totally agree. Matching S2000 cars as Group N machines is absolute nonsense...

But if you look at the results they are pretty evenly matched, are'nt they ?
So why is it wrong to put them in the same class ?


But it does not make sense to put them i A8 either, is A7 only 2wd or could they go there ? (Gr A under 2000 ccm)

Yes, the results of S2000 and production cars are matching nicely, but that's not reason for putting them together in one group. Because it's completely denying the basic characteristics of group N cars, which are serial - opposite that S2000 cars are highly tuned machines, OMI they should have it's own category, because in current system of classes and groups they can not be placed anywhere. Solution to this problem is waiting in the new classement system (R1, R2, R3...).

In the Belgian national championship are the S2000's in A7, except in Ypres. This was already in 2007 too. ;)

In the mess of today it doesn't matter since nowadays gr. N cars are no longer group N too. Basicly they are gr. A machines with smaller restrictors. S2000 are definitely not gr. N cars from it's basis. But as Karbonyl wrote we have mess untill new R classes are the only ones.
