    had they homologated a few months earlier teams could have planned with it for 2019, now it could be too late.

    Do we know anything of if anyone have ordered it, and if they have a backlog?

    Donagh Kelly’s new car for the 2019 Irish Tarmac Championship. He's finally switched to an R5 from his Focus 08 WRC which was winning 2018 ITC events, although not eligible for points. Declan Boyle has also switched to R5 for next year.

    Hopefully this will provide competition for the Moffett's in the 2019 Championship.

    First overall victory for the Polo, from Johan Kristoffersson in Romjulsrally.
    https://www.ewrc-results.com/results...ulsrally-2018/

    A lot of testing for all, both on tires and new co drivers.
    Grøndal got some gremlins, and chose not to drive.

    But a win is a win. Johan is an impressive driver, lets see what 2019 will bring him.

    Hmmm... I don't know... Is it so impressive? He was only 4 minutes quicker than Anders Kjær in his old Volkswagen Golf II. Don't you think that Kristofferson has overpayed for his new car?

    80 km and 4 minutes is quite sufficient...though i`m not sure, if it is "Kristoferson-perfect".

    Confirmed! The ‘Portuguese’ Polo (chassis 9) came to Pedro Meireles, 2014 national rally champ; a second unit was also ordered by M&Costas (Meireles family company and a big VW dealer) and will be delivered in June, probably to be used by his older brother Paulo (a strong title contender in the 90’s and 00’s). Congrats to them!

    It's nice seeing how many of these Polo sales have been to customers who don't already own other R5s. If I'm correct, Meireles has only rented cars from TokSport for the last couple of years?
