they have the same egine, Honda 2,4 290 hp prepared by Berta, 4WD from Subaru, and an italian sequential gearbox with 6 gears all of these are the same for all of the MR, the rest is free

Any more information about building cost for these cars?

Who is the manufacturer of the gearbox?

Lot of work with the body shell.

for the moment, there is no accurate information of what is the price of a MaxiRally, it could indicate that it is similar to the price of any PWRC... The gearbox is Subaru.

Rally de Catamarca, fourth round of CAR, second victory of Federico Villagra...

Villagra is feeling more and more comfortable in the Fiesta.


Villagra claimed an incredible victory in Catamarca

Federico Villagra (Ford) came up with an unbelievable victory in the Rally de Catamarca, fourth round of the Argentine Rally Championship, to claim his second win so far this season with the Fiesta Maxi Rally.

This round will be remember as one of the most extraordinary rallies of the last years, since there was five different leaders and three drivers dropping out of the race when leading the classification.

Juan Marchetto (Mitsubishi) was the first to take the lead after setting the best time in the opening stage on Friday night. Already in the mountain, Gabriel Pozzo (VW) clinched two stage victories in a row to command the rally; however on SS4 the former PWCR Champion cut to early a corner causing his Gol Trend Maxi Rally to roll over.

Automatically Villagra inherited the first position. Until that moment, "Coyote" hadn't been able to match Pozzo's pace but was clever enough to keep himself steady behind the leader. Unfortunately, not for a long time, Villagra collected a puncture on SS6 and dropped to sixth place 41,6 seconds adrift Miguel Baldoni (VW), the new rally's commander.

The WRC Academy driver held the lead until the last Saturday' stage, when his Gol Trend suffered a transmission failure that forced him to abandon the race. Behind Baldoni, Marcos Ligato (Chevrolet) was virtually the new leader; nevertheless and incredibly, the Tango driver broke a ball joint of his Agile Maxi Rally exactly in the same place where Baldoni got into trouble. The new leader was the Paraguayan Diego Domínguez (Kia), who claimed the leg's victory. Villagra also took advantage of his rival's retirements and climbed to second position.

The second day of action had only three stages scheduled, but there was more drama to come. Two of the stages were over 25 kilometres and the remaining one was the second pass through the Super Special.

Domínguez found himself in trouble opening and sweeping the road. The Team Baratec driver lost 13 seconds against Villagra, who reduced the gap to 8,9s. "Coyote" was feeling really confident with his speed, and the pressure he put on the leader of the race finally worked. On the penultimate stage Domínguez went off the road, and the VRS driver cruised on the Super Special to claim the victory.

5 round of CAR 2011...

Muddy conditions couldn’t stop Villagra


Federico Villaga (Ford) clinched his third success in a row within the Argentine Rally Championship after claiming the win in the Rally de la Yerba Mate, fifth round of the national series held in Apóstoles.
For most of the drivers this was their first encounter with the red roads of Misiones, since the last time the Northern Province hosted a round was back in 2000. And the experience didn't turn out to be as pleasant as they though it would be.

The heavy rains that struck the region during the whole weekend made the roads almost impassable, and the slippery conditions contributed to a great numbers of spins and accidents during the race.

In the case of Villagra, he came up with a faultless and intelligent driving which enabled him cruise on Saturday to claim a one-minute lead over Gabriel Pozzo (VW) after the first leg of competition.

"It felt like soap on the surface. You could barely remain standing. However, we were clever enough to find the right pace to be fast but not furious" stated "Coyote" on the Service Park.

On Sunday the scenery was even worst, up to a point the organisers were forced to cancel the second run through the first two stages and left for the end of the rally the Super Special Stage.

But the final chapter of this chaotic story was as dramatic as the previous ones, since Villagra had to run the 3.14-kilometre circuit with a problem in the Fiesta's engine intake manifold which cost him more than 30 seconds, and almost the victory.

This triumph enables Villagra climb to first position in the standings with a 37-point lead over his team-mate Juan Marhcetto, who dismissed this round as the current regulations state. Pozzo now have 95.5 points.
