Any idea what the chassis upgrade was? I struggle with the FIA site and wonder if it would be available anyway?
Were there not also supposed to be some aerodynamic updates coming up for the Fiesta - or did I dream that?
Previously they announced to consider whether spending a joker on aerodynamics is a good idea. I wouldn't be surprised if they found it didn't bring any reasonable benefit to justify spending a joker.
We need wait for oficial homologation sheet of FIA. Actual only show the jokers of january.
When are jokers allowed? Two years after first homologation?
Only real available joker for Fiesta now is engine. Other are parts of some bigger kits which will be available later in the year, hopefully in April.
Same with Citroen now, new Jokers released in January, but currently nothing is (and can be) changed as rest of kits which consist those "joker" parts will be homologated in March (hopefuly) and available in April.
First order for the Hyundai i20 R5 from the Italian HMI team.
This according to eMotorsport
http://www.emotorsport.se/nyheter.ph...yhets_id=11863
Confirmed by HMI.
We are soon getting into the periode where R5 cars will be in different Evo stages. Would be nice if the teams could specify if the car they fill out the entryform for is an evo 1, 2 and so on.
makes it easier for us spectators to comprare the driver performance in a rally!
It's unrealistic wish. I don't know if You have ever seen some entry forms but You're often lucky when they fill at least the class correctly. It seems way too much to ask proper name of the car not speaking about its evolution stage. In fact it's quite impossible as the cars may and will be made of a mixture of various evolution jokers. Who can say how many jokers used make it already an evo? :)
Have seen some entry forms, and find them a bit unpractical for the entrant.
Here is the one for 2016 i think. And it could be possible to put in evo1 in the car field (that could be longer!!)
See the issue of mid version Evo, almost like the evo 6.5, but still would be nice to encourage the teams to specify.

Pretty big difference btw Fiesta blank, and evo1!

A Paraguain team making a R5? That's strange AF. I was hoping that the South African Toyota presented one... not the paraguains
They have support from TRD Australia. S2000 came from Australia ;)
If Indonesian rallying isn't in dormant state, I'd like to see this & Mirage.Quote:

Sounded like Jasper will start driving it first. They want Jim to drive with the Mitsubishi this year and next year and than probably going to the R5, but all depends on his improvement. On some stages yesterday he drove the same times as Jasper already, so looks good.
Rumours about Hotz running one too, with Balbosca team.
They are in so early stage of development now that it's impossible to say anything about Hyundai R5, simply nobody knows...
Only you ;)Quote:

Not a huge competition by the looks of it, but a good test I guess.

Kevin Abbring in control, Hyundai Motorsport has this week continued the development of its new i20 R5, making four days of testing, both on the ground and two on asphalt, in the South of France.
Among the innovations tested by Hyundai on his R5, a new cooling system, a new shield, but already an evolution of the 1.6T engine.
The Customer Project department of Hyundai Motorsport has also announced the first firm order of a Hyundai i20 R5 by an Italian private team.
We are also able to reveal that the team Jasper van den Heuvel also ordered a R5 Hyundai to the power requirement dispose for Rallye Deutschland.
The ambition of the Dutch team is getting to know the R5 and put at the wheel forward Jim van den Heuvel, the younger brother of Jasper, which debuted globally in the Swedish Rally on a Lancer EvoX

And it complies to R5 rules.
