No, I mean if it's going to be a R1, R2 or something else, for example, because I thought it was made just for the Australian Championship... sorry, I can't explain myself in English better than this :D

My mistake, sorry! I think your English is much better than my Swiss ;)

Not sure of the class, but I hope its an R2 :)

That is the Jazz thats has been built for the Australia Championship with the 2 litre engine from the civic R3. Think they just had Guy there to help with the testing and development and if I'm not mistaken that is Glen Weston on the notes who is Eli Even's co driver. Don't think they have any plans to make a R1 or R2 versions but the class that it runs in the Australian Championship is G2 so that could cause a bit of confusion.

He found something to drive at least. Тhese asian championships are like rehabilitation clinics for reprobate drivers :laugh:

It does really look and sound like a proper rally car, so I don`t understand some of the comments here...

It's a car for Australian championship built under Australian national G2-class rules. Nothing to do with ladycup.
