Official S2000 thread

Good article Chris B.

Here's my prediction on the IRC. It will become very popular with manufacturers and spectators alike. The manufacturers will love it due to the big responses they get from markets such as China and Russia.
After a few seaons he FIA will realise that the IRC is infact the potential nail in the coffin for WRC. They will pull the plug on it. A new thinking of the WRC will begin. Russia and China will be included on the WRC calender and 'small population' events like New Zealand (...and Ireland, and Norway) will get the axe.

Renault was preparing WRC car, but stopped it years ago. He isnt preparing S2000 car, next year he will start with clio r3.

You are right with this predictions. But FIA knows the strength of IRC and counts with it in future plans...

I rewrite here the rumour I've read on another forum today: OMV and Manfred Stohl could run next year in IRC with a 207 S2000

That would be fun a 207 in OMV livery :

that would be the biggest dissapointment since years!!!!

i really hope and pray that this rumour will stay a rumour...maybe in a few years it make sence to drive s2000 but not now.

manfred is one of the top 10 drivers out there, he deserves a wrc.

But therefore S2000 would be a very exciting new challenge for Manfred and Ilka...

Grifone will run Punto S2000 in Italian Championship parallel to Fiat factory team? or will they participate in otner championships, like ERc or IRC?

This is a known movie that is old. Some even say it is a S1600 engine, anyone that knows if this project died or is still alive ?

In my opinion a S2000 rallycar would be a perfect way of introducing Dacia into new markets !!
Motorsport is exellent marketing.

They have a racing class in Germany based on Logan - price of a new car 9900€
