Why no gravel suspension for the DS3 R1?
is it in the pipeline?
I think that with R1 You can't modify stock suspension. You can change few minor things but nothing major. So it's more about the fact that suspension of stock cars is not suitable for gravel. That's no surprise considering how stock cars are used, isn't it?
So which brands have R1 cars or are planning?
The same with R2: s how many brands are currently producing R2: s? And are there more factories planning to do R2-models?
This should open new possibilies for young newcomers to do rallying in any country, and the national dealers to make good PR for their brand.
Good news.

That's the article, but it's really a bit strange that cars where tested in here and not even a single photo poped up on the web!
