R2 Cars

[Andre Oliveira]

In our championship it also means that the car is in different class than the R2B cars (class 5 instead of 6). In the international it's both RC4.

Some confusion yet, but on Sweden they split RC4B as class.

I'm surprised there were only 450 cars built of the Peugeot 208 R2. I expected more, it was meant to be a "cheap car" for young drivers after all...

What do You base Your assumption, that it's not much, on? Do You have any comparable numbers for other R2 cars like C2, Fiesta or Adam?

No, sorry, I don't have any comparisons. I just thoght that if the number of Peugeots R2 is lower than the number of combined sales of Skoda R5 and Ford R5 ( 450 < 500 ), then it is not much. After all, Peugeot 208 R2 was designed as a "cheap" car for young drivers, it was widely promoted by Peugeot Sport, local Peugeot dealers around Europe, there were many cup series in various countries and... at the end of the day... just 450 cars after 7 years on sale...

Does anybody have the same problem like me? It's harder and harder for me to use the Rallyforum...

New 208 looks like it is early in the testphase looked like it needs more work on suspension.
Cool engine sound on the 3 cyl.

Look of car is very nice for a R2.

R2 market has many different makes, Fiesta R2 is used as the entry level car in WRC etc...go figure.

Don't know what have You react on but there are more R5 manufacturers than R2 despite R2 being around for many more years.

Officially 7

C2 Max
Fabia
Twingo
208
Fiesta Mk7 (atmosferic 1.6 and then 1.0 Ecoboost in the facelift)
Fiesta Mk8
Adam

There was a Polo and a Lada built under same regulations, but I don't think that they had FIA homologation
