It depends a lot on the car and it's evolution.
In case of S2000 each car had different limits for the engines, etc. Even same cars had different limits depending on engine evolution (Peugeot had once only 600kms on engine). In case of Fiesta S2000 engine has 1500kms, gearbox they say 2000kms, but anyway you need to open it more frequent to change ratios for upcoming event, so you do inspections more frequent. Damper rebuild 800kms, with inspection every 400kms. Many other parts you rebuild depending on their current condition, if you do a lot of testing then some parts which are above their limit you could use on tests, etc. Parts wear also heavily depends on conditions during the rally or tests, ie. if there is mud, rain, etc then all the bearings in uprights, arms, etc are heavily worn.
Is homologation on 208 T16 postponed officielle, from jan 1 to mar 1?
This years Barum Colin McRae Flat Out Trophy owner Miroslav Jakeš will drive Citroën DS3 R5 in Czech international championship and three selected Austrian events (however not Jänner as the team doesn't want to invest in gravel suspension for just one event).
Anyone that knows who's really working on R5's?
Skoda, Peugeot and Citroën is for shure, but any news on Opel, Toyota, Renault, Fiat or any other it has been some rumours around?
Opel admitted they work on R5 in an interview with their team boss some time a go. For Renault I think that R5 will come after R3T is finished. There were unofficial information about Honda/JAS working on R5 as well.
Thanks!
Is it any scedule or info on the Opel R5 (Adam or astra?)? They has already build an R1 (cup), is the R2 ready also?
The Honda/jas project is in italy isn't it? Same team as the wtcc Honda?
R3t engine is the same as R5?
About Opel I guess it's going to be Corsa, Adam is too small in my opinion. However it's just my guessing.
JAS is in Italy, right. They also developed Civic R3.
I don't know exact differences between R3T and R5 engine but it shall be similar. The main difference is sure 2 mm bigger restrictor for R5.
Hopefully both Opel and Honda shows something up not too long into 2014.
The civic R3 is quite good in R3, isn't it?
I guess these two will come only in 2015.Quote:
