Yep, they're not R5's, but it's nice to know that MRF S2000 Fabias are coming to Portugal.
Still lots of power in them!

There's a new evolution pop-off valve, which according to Peugeot Sport, has improved stability and precision in terms of opening pressure, and is also less prone to the effects of heat. If anyone's interested, the Peugeot Sport document is here.
only newly homologated update for Fiesta is engine, in March they hope to homologate suspension changes
When will Skoda be allowed to make homologation changes to the Fabia?

The new Fiesta Evos are struggeling a bit in minus 10, with engine cuts in corners.
lets see if they can fix it in the next service breake.
could be a SW glitch in the evo kit.
Have MSport gotten a SW fix to mend the engine "cheating" issues mid corner for the Evo yet?

Hyundai i20 R5 is being tested in France now. Kevin Abbring is the test driver. Hyundai Motorsport say they will start offering this car to customers at the end of this summer.

If they started testing now than it is too early. It's crazy risky to homologate the car after just six months of testing - unless, of course, they haven't started with testing a long time a go and just kept it secret.
I was referring to the test schedule not to the timing from the first announcement to the homologation. :)
So apparently Hyundai has really not a good relationship with time and scheduling. It would be hilarious if they will delay also the debut of the r5. But maybe as you said they have already done something before.
M-Sport was gambling and succeeded thanks to the fail of PSA. The way how M-Sport achieved reliability with so little testing was to limit engine output. The situation is a lot different now when new Fiesta Evo and Fabia are on the market. Those both have very strong engine, a lot more than original Fiesta. But we'll see, maybe Hyundai can make everything right with so little time. It may help that FIA changed pop-off valves recently and also they can learn a lot from the problems of others. Still it will be interesting.
18 R5s/S2000s so far entered for first round of the British championship. Admittedly, 14-15 of those are Fiestas.....
