Not the early starters though. Irish ex-Champion Josh Moffett has switched from the i20 to the Citroen C3 for this season. Others there have also gone to the C3 and the two BRC Champs who have gone to the ITRC this year have preferred the Fiesta.Quote:

R5 is the original name for the Rally2 class. The 208 R5 were built under the same rules but they are outdated now with their development long abandoned. Fiesta R5 and 208 R5 were the very first cars of the class.Quote:

A mild hybrid version of the Lancia Ypsilon is expected indeed.
