Ollie Mellors and his Proton Iriz R5 were second overall in Three Shires Stages 2021. Mellors was leading until the penultimate stage, but lost the last stage and the whole rally by 3 seconds.

I like the initiative from the Mellors with Proton, both the S2000 and the R5.
But it would be nice to see them in ERC with a top driver, to get it measured towards the class top dogs.
That was the plan before corona, so I hope that is still the plan. If the price is right, and lower than Skoda, Ford and Hyundai they could sell a good few to national series.

Somewhat expected but still interesting to see that the old Fabia keeps to be the dominating car on rough gravel.
On the other hand I'm really negatively surprised how slow Gryazin is with the Fiesta compared to his usual pace (or maybe it's because he doesn't ris that much as usual).Stupid is as stupid does. Forrest Gump

A clash with reality. Unlike with the Rally1 cars the manufacturers need to persuade the customers to buy their Rally2 cars and the simple fact is that they can't selll what no-one wants. At least Škoda Motorsport and M-Sport are dependent on doing profitable business with rally cars and the hybrids are not going to help them in that.

Skoda says August 2022 homologation target for new Fabia.
Isn't that really late if they already stopped making new chassis of the current one? Do they
aim for not selling any new cars for almost a year?
This one was good
