I would think next calendar released normaly end of April/some time in May.

:laugh: yea, just a bit of finger trouble there, I meant 2013!

I can get flights to Nice for £60 return at the moment so want to get it booked ASAP. Infact its probably cheaper than a train from Devon to London, but thats for a different thread!

It's too big for current rules I'm afraid.

But the Peugot 206 was too small for the the rules in 1999. ;)

Would the Veloster fit??

Hard to say. It is somewhat longer than current WRC cars but it is also lower. Hard to estimate how heavy bodyshell it has. The non-symetrical bodyshell could cause some problems though. Wheelbase would be by far longest of all cars with very small overhangs. Anyway it would be sure a beautiful car.
