Like i write before: Ralliart Italy just Finished another 2 days of testing in Italy with Michal Kosciuszko driving the Lancer R4 EVO IX and EVO X, the results are very Positive.!!

Ralliart Italy is constantly testing in Italy with Gr N and R4 cars. Test results will be posted when available.

I understood that R4 regulations only applied to current model of each manufacturer, so has Ralliart Italy homologated a kit for Evo IX, as well?

[GTA]

Yes Ralliart Italy has exclusively Homologated the R4 EVO IX.

This is the reason why Boon in Fabia R2 did not make it to the finish in Wallonie last weekend and also didn't take home R2 victory in front of C2 and Twingo (Princen!):

Nice spare part list where the serial parts and the kit parts are clearly separated.

62 000 €, will they be able to sell cars for that, if the Fiesta is 40 000 for a complete car and the C2 Max kit is 34 000 ?

How much is a R3 Clio access ?
The Fabia sounded expensive to me ?

I got curious about the differences in the prices. The calculations took some time to make these calculations but here are my results.

A complete Fiesta R2 from M-Sport is 48.955 € (exchange rate 0,87) and a complete Citroen C2 R2 Max is 58.000 € and a Skoda R2 62.000 €. What should be considered is also what one gets for a certain price.

The contest of the different kits are quite different and it’s difficult to compare the kits, so I did a counting of items (rows) from spare parts lists with similar contests to compare “what do you get for the price”.

The only kit a know for sure is the Fiesta’s kit and it include about 340 items. The Renault Twingo R2 kit has about 310 items and the Skoda Fabia R2 kit has about 490 items.

Calculating the average price per item gives the following results:

Fiesta: 123 € / item
Twingo: 148 € / item
Fabia: 141 € / item

Pity that Citroen don’t have similar spare parts list as the others one, so I couldn’t do the calculations of the items for Citroen. But anyway looking at the average price per item, the Skoda is not so expensive despite of the high price for a complete car.

For a comparison the price per item for a Renault Clio R3 is 163 € / item and has 605 items in a similar kit.
