    R1

    See that R1 is much discussed on another place, and see it need its own.
    Is it other countries that will have R1 cars running in 2011? Looks like a good beginner class to learn carhandeling in.
    Will more cars than the twingo come soon?

    Interesting. the car is much closer to the Adam Cup philosophy than the previous R1 cars since it has sequential gearbox and LSD. It's not cheap but it shall be also much quicker than the DS3 R1.

    It also seems pretty similar to the Fiesta R2J, still in use on the French Junior championship. Btw, sequential gearboxes were previously allowed in R1 or has the rule changed?

    Checked elsewhere and apparently R1 rules got a huge change for 2019: only one class (no more A/B); more freedom on engine tuning and the use of not original (free in same cases) major components on the transmission, suspension and brakes. They’re now a sort of light R2.

    Renault Sport simply calls it ‘Clio Rally’ but as expected the new Clio is a R1 rally car, developed according to future Rally 5 regs. Despite the 1.3T engine, tech specs are quite similar to the Fiesta R1 (5speed sgb, lsd, +30cv,-30kg) for an announced price of 42.000€ (4k less than Fiesta). For now it seems RS will be pretty busy building new cars for their 3 cups (Rally, Racing, RX) but a R2 kit could soon follow (bolder rumours also mention a Rally 3 version?!?).

    Edit: weigth difference is 50kg and not 30.
