Is the Fiesta R2 the only one left with aprox 165-170 hp?

Does MSport plan for an upgrade of the fiesta soon?

Fiesta is great car for cups. There is no need to make it more expensive in my opinion.

New cup in ERC: M-Sport to support one-make Ford Fiesta R2 series in ERC
That i around 81 000 EUR for 4 rallies. That is around 20 000 EUR/event, which is a bit expensive. But considering the fact that car itself costs around 35 000 - 40 000 EUR and it is all included (entry fee, fuel, tyres, service crew, etc), then it is not too bad.

Fully agree, but for people competing with the Fiesta against C2 Max, 208, Twingo Evo, and Fabia + it would be nice to have an option to buy an upgrade to not loose out before the start.
So far the Fieastas have benefitted from having the best handling, that has evened out most of the engine gap, but I have a suspision that with the 208 coming, it will take the lead as an overall package.

In the Norvegian championship this year the R2 class is the most even and competitive class with 10 cars batteling it out, 5 of those Fiestas.
on snow those 20+ missing hp has not been that important on snow, but now the gravel season starts with more grip!

According to someone on Rallylink Forum, Andrea Crugnola would run 2013 CIR/Italy in 208 R2 !!!

M-Sport tried to homologate an engine upgrade recently but it was turned down by the FIA.
Not entirely sure why though

Peugeot has a R2, so I don't think so...
