R1

[Sulland]

Ok so Toyota uses the 1,33 vvt-i engine. That one has btw 98-100 hp depending on what source you use.

The Twingo has 133, as the original car, while the Fiesta has 120 hp in standard trim, and 130 in R1 trim.

What can be tweaked on a R1 inside the rules?

From ”R-Classes news” thread.

R1T to be discussed by the FIA on 28th September I have heard.

1.4 turbo category. It will probably be strangled with a 29mm restrictor [img]file:///C:/Users/Kenneth/AppData/Local/Temp/msoclip1/01/clip_image001.gif[/img]

Could be some truth in this.

In the newest issue of “Vauhdin Maailma” Juuso Pykälistö tested the Fiesta R1 and in a side comment is written:

“It is already known that the FIA rules will allow the turbo engines also in R1 category. Ford's 1.0-liter turbocharged EcoBoost will probably been homologated soon as well, so more power to the cars are to be expected.”

Maybe 1,0 – 1,2 litre turbocharged cars in R2T with restrictor size x? As far as I know the 1,0 litre turboengine is available only with a Focus so far.

I wonder what Citroën will do with the DS3 R1 in 2013 Like Renault, a separated cup(R3/R1)or only to sell them to the drivers who want it without promoting the model(except in the Rallye-Jeunes program)

Are any nation planning Yaris R1 Cups for 2013? Links?

I didn't notice that at the Condroz this week-end Kevin Demaerschalk will drive a DS3 R1...

And if I'm not mistaken Elfyn Evans will drive Fiesta R1 to make some competition

Kevin Demaerschalk 60th at the Condroz and leading the R1s
But can't see any other contenders on that class though
