    Probably only slightly less powerful, but S2000s have less sophisticated transmission and are lighter weight so should look more nimble.

    Can't be any worse than a Focus anyway.

    Winning doesnt mean a lot to me from an entertainment perspective, Id much rather watch something loud and spectacular even if it wasnt particlarly competative. But then we all like different aspects of the sport.

    If only S2000 were allowed N/a 2.5's instead of turbos.

    Really? I will remember to mention that to Ferrari, currently the top grossing Formula 1 team.

    I understand your point but teams are here to compete and win.
    Watching teams struggle and succeed is part of that entertainment.

    That's the one.

    You know, great rally car, good road car. But the WRCar sounds boring, looks boring and handles boring.

    I agree totally with Mirek, it's fancy-ass suspension system means it looks like a hovercraft ZZZZzzzzzzz.

    Unfortunately it is also the most common car on the stages this year.

    Looking forward to seeing Marcus in the Focus at Chatsworth at the next Rally Show there later this year.
