    Cheap R5s are old or are getting old, newer, better and faster models are coming and in the end you can`t fight for a win with it, atleast in international or continental events. Add the maint. costs and not so tempting anymore...except for maybe gentlemen drivers and national championships.

    More than the final price, what can make this car sell is the promotional package around it. Porsche Motorsport sells dozens of expensive racing cars every year as they organize several one make series all over the world, providing their costumers competitive and entertaining races with good media coverage and big money prizes. That’s why it makes sense to imagine they can try to do a similar job with the Cayman GTR, starting a Porsche rally cup alongside FIA RGT Cup events or others major rallys. That would be great.

    Service intervals on an R5 car are insanely frequent and very expensive. A gentlemen racer might be interested in purchasing a RGT car especially when service costs are a fraction of the R5. That is the only thing the Cayman has going for it. Factory PDK gearbox and motor with rally goodies. It sounds great on paper, but ...

    Congrats to Astier/Vauclare and Milano Racing; after being first RGT in Corsica, Rome and Zlin, they’ve won 2018 FIA RGT Cup on their Abarth 124 Rally.

    More than luck, the 124 Rally safety devices seems to be pretty well designed and working as projected. Btw, according to the news, Monarri is ok and after medical checks was discharged from hospital.

    So Tempestini is really driving an Abarth 124 RGT through Rally Poland? Sounds crazy...
