    The mild hybrid is more a politics issue from FIA than a big engineering change, that will change the Rally2 class.

    In Finland it looks like the Polo is the best RC2 car to have.
    Why could that be?

    Now we know the dimensions and I wonder how that will affect the R5 because the car is really big.

    Length +111 mm
    Width +48 mm
    Wheelbase +94 mm
    Height -8 mm

    Love the Quattro wastegate whistle sound of the Polos is nice.

    Are Polo and Fabia using same engine block?

    i’m sure it was said that the engines were largely the same, but they sound quite different so I suppose they have different ancillaries such as wastegate, exhaust system.
