Is it possible to move the homologation date? AFAIK The first few cars should be ready in the middle of February and wait 2 weeks for homologation, so I belive the cars are ready, but FIA is full of bureaucracy so I don´t think it is so easy to change the homologation date.

No there are only 4 dates to homologate it, I thought.

I think You don't understand what homologation mean. It's not a pre-event scrutineeering. It doesn't take one hour. It takes maybe more than one month to check everything. The process can be finished earlier (or even later - Fiesta S2000) but the date in papers will be one of those four.

...so it means homologation process could finish this weekend BUT in papers there will be written 1.3. and Peugeot can´t use that car until 1.3. , right?

[Mirek]

Yes. That's exactly what happened in Barum rally two years a go when Vizin with Polo S2000 was not allowed to start. The safety door foam and plastic windows were homologated right before Barum rally but for homologation date 1st September which was the date of second leg. FIA stewards didn't allow the car to start.

Mirek, do you know if there is a good reason that FIA don't allow a car to be homologated at any point during the year and have only 4 specific dates during a year?

[Mirek]

I guess that it's for them to be able to plan their activities. If anyone could come at any date it would be a pain in the ass for FIA.

Plenty of people seem to be buying these R5 cars, but are they cheaper to rent than S2000/RRC cars too?
