No. RRC = S2000 with 1,6T engine. It is not possible to rebuild it into atmospheric S2000.

what a stupid rule....

I'm not so sure the idea of eliminating RRC cars is so bad. They are currently more competitive than R5 cars but more expensive, and FIA is trying to keep the cost of competing down.

but lets be honest, how much more competitive are they really?? and how much RRC cars are arround?? 1-2 Citroens? 1 Mini? a few Fiestas?? and only in the hands of an real competitive driver these cars can show the full potential...so let them be, in latest 1 year R5 will be faster anyway (...as soon as Skoda R5 arrive)
