    Yes, Malcolm is obviously doing well now with sales but it might backfire in the long term.

    Presume there are similar restrictions on homologation to the S2000?

    There are proper restrictions on homologation for R5's.
    Only 3 changes are permitted (afaik) after homologation meaning that if the 208/DS3 is quicker there'll be very little opportunity for M-Sport to recover the difference

    Just a quick thought: Could Skoda put in 4 similar corners when it comes to suspension, to the current Fabia + some other bits and pieces to get it according to R5 and homologate that, and the homologate a complete new car using the new platform in 2015 or is that forbidden somewhere?

    They will not homologate R5 untill Fabia III comes out. Don't waste time speculating.

    Ok, but it was not meant as speculation, just trying to understand the limits within the regulations.

    Lets take another example; Proton take their current S2000 and changes it to a R5, and homologate 1st jan 14. 2015 the prod mod comes out in a completely new form, can they homologate this one in 2015?
