Think there are more swedish mirages, some are maybe wrecked, but not sure.
Mats Johnson also har a Celica 165 that he drove the historic part of this years rally Sweden. Might be the same car as he won in in 93?

C & M Motorsport Rally Car Sales team take on the Hyundai Motorsport Franchise for UK & Ireland. They aim to make the Hyundai Marque and its Hyundai i20N Rally2 variant a force to be reckoned with once more.

The team will be one of the first in Europe to take delivery of the eagerly awaited i20N “Step 2’.

Upgrades to the car for 3x British champion Matt Edwards will be available for Rd2 in West Cork, whilst customers will be able to order their Hyundai Motorsport parts from C & M Motorsport going forward.

What a battle between McErlean and Edwards on the Midland Stages in Ireland. Times were nip & tuck all rally, with McErlean taking the win on the final stage by just 0.5sec !

A tremendous drive by Edwards showing himself and the updated i20 Rally2 have great speed ahead of the 2025 ITRC.

What does step 2 contain?

What does step 2 contain?

If I remember well, upgrades to the engine & software, new gear ratios, suspension kinematics and maybe rear differential. They said that they know the car is not good on gravel and will never be, so all these developments are basically aimed at tarmac performance

Sesks on Rally2 Fiesta in Portugal:

You have driven several Rally2 cars. Tell me, please, is the difference between these Rally2 cars big ?

"Each Rally2 car is different with its own little nuances. There are some Rally2 cars where the adaptation time is shorter, and you can drive fast quite quickly, but with other Rally2 cars you have to work more, in more detail. With Ford, you have to find the right settings quite precisely, and that golden mean is quite narrow, so it's not so easy to hit it exactly and find very good settings right away. This time we managed to find the right settings quite quickly, which also allowed us to drive fast. Our ''Past Racing'' Ford Fiesta Rally2 car was very competitive."

Luky made his debut with Hyundai Canarias's Step 2 i20 in Lanzarote and set one fastest time whilst finishing in 3rd place.
