Will it come 208 R1?

Only a 208 R2 and a 208 R are announced. They shouldn't develop a 208 R1 because there is already a DS3 R1.

That's no problem. They already admitted they would do both 208 and DS3 R5. I think it's rather easy to use same technology in two different bodyshells and for many reasons it makes sense to keep both brands in.

Agree with you. Saves money.

Have anyone competed in a R1 DS3 yet ?

The Rallye-Jeunes Yann Bergues and Jérémy Beaux are running in it this season

But they lack of experience compared to the drivers of the Twingo R1 Trophy

Thus at Rallye du Rouergues, Sébastien Chardonnet(promising young driver)drove one and before losing many times(mistake or puncture or mechanical??)and the times were really good: he fought with the Twingo/Junior trophy leaders
