R2 Cars

[Jeppe]

I am anxious to see what 208 can do in it´s class 6 against the top runners: Twingo Evo M. Pajunen, C2 Max A. Nucita and Fabia E. Chentre.

There was something about Mazda developing the Mazda 2 in a rally car - http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_FoXyvaPSnV...me-Rally-0.jpg , does any one knows what happened with the project?

In my opinion the 208 will be as good as the C2, even better because of the longer wheel base I think the driving will be much easier. Regarding the engine, well wouldn't it be the same as in the C2

The engine is completely different. C2 R2 is based on old TU5 unit while the 208 R2 engine is made of new BMW/PSA EP6 one.

Isn't it made under Australian national regulations?

So far BB has driven the 208 very fast, and leads Elwis in the Impramat Fabia by a good margin after day 1. Not bad for a debut!
Any comments from Bouffier on how he feels tje first day went, and if he feels more is to come with adjustments?

Anyone: When will we see the 208 on gravel for the first time ?

Is the Pug the fastest R2 you can buy today ?

[Tom206wrc]

For now I think yes, the 208 being the latest developped should be the fastest but for now it's a bit early to really have a real opinion me thinks though...

PS: about the 208 on gravel, good question
Maybe in Vaucluse, last event of french championship
