Yes it exist in F1 as well, the last v8s were capped at 18k RPM and now the v6 turbos they are capped at 15k. Not sure about other motosports

It is not just the testing miles. There needs to be time to understand any problems and improve the car and deal with them.

It looks so much nicer with white wheels compared to the works team

R5+ cannot be homologated with FIA. It is just for national championships. Maybe it only runs in UK?
Jokers are some permitted modifications to the original homologation of the R5 car.

Will he compete with the DS3 instead of 208?

Reports that Hyundai asked Nasser to join the test of an R5 car. Any truth in this?

It's a pitty that there is no way for a new homologation for reliability purposes.

@Mirek: do you know what is changed for it to be more reliable? Completely new engine? (since you mentioned...

Exactly my thought! Especially from this angle

same video as Mirek posted above.

Really nice, seems very well balanced. Especially its sound is way better as any other R5, it reminds me of early WRC cars.

Good find Mirek.
In this photo it seems there is some angle, but it is weird. points backwards a bit and (maybe???) outwards

the technical regulations for R5 demand that some of the suspension...

in this video at approx 0:30 seems to be the same place as in some videos from the event.


some photos from the test...

Mirek, do you know if there is a good reason that FIA don't allow a car to be homologated at any point during the year and have only 4 specific dates during a year?

Also Fabia has a number of evolutions over the years, but not the Fiesta if I remember correctly (do I???). Then they introduced the RRC which is something different altogether

Is it possible for M-Sport to homologate a new version of R5 in 1-2 years when (and if) the competition makes the Fiesta the slowest of them all? Are there any restrictions by FIA on evolutions for...

Google translate is horrible here! I have already read this elsewhere a few days ago. FIA screwed up once again by messing around with whatever we start feeling comfortable with.
Also R4 is suppose...

Its ALS sounds more 'rough' than 208 and Fiesta R5, but I suppose there will be long before it is finally homologated.
