    If a Protocar can be bought from 30 000€ and upwards, depending on spec.
    The function I see them in will be to fill the gap of the N4 cars, not to compete with the international R5s.
    For me this makes sense to get more drivers into a 4wd car on a normal working man salary.
    Agree with most of our points (although the price you’ve mentioned seems quite unrealistic), but isn’t this matter already treated in two other threads? Why not keep it on the R4 think tank?

    I don't know if anybody is interested, but there is a new car from Dytko. This time it is Audi A1 Proto and it looks like this:

    Taking up this again since the R4 thread moves into proto cars.
    If you spec a proto low, it seems you can get a good price. Chassis and more or less standard evo parts.

    If this should be used in a national series, you need to set a spec, to get a "standard".

    Standard parts make more sense considering the price. I know that the Swedish Mirage don’t have FIA homologation. Hope that at least the price is correct because all the rest seems to be bullshit.

    I had a look at http://rallycarsforsale.net/?s=dytko&sa=search&scat=0 and there was a Polo with evo X standard parts for 35 900 € http://rallycarsforsale.net/ads/vw-polo-proto-2/ . The Citroen C3 proto for 19 000 € is as I understand only the bodyshell prepared for evo X parts http://rallycarsforsale.net/ads/citr...complete-body/

    In general does the customer have to supply the evo parts or does Dytko take care of everything.

    There usually are specs, as much as you can excpect from a proto. One example:

    But you can get one for 39 000, that I bet will be a good learning 4wd car.

    Do You buy Yourself and Your family also the cheapest things around? You know it's not any different with rally cars. The cheap stuff is cheap because it's not good.

    Honestly, that’s a silly analogy.

    As you know, Rally cars price depends mostly on their tech specs level and a low spec car will naturally tend to cost way less than a high spec one; therefore a cheap car isn’t necessarily a ‘not good’ one.

    Btw, you should praise a bit more Dytko work; they’ve granted a nice reputation selling their cars all over Europe and beyond.

    And if an ASN has balls to set up a Proto cup, in coop with a Proto builders firm, using a set spec and set price from them. Important for the spec should be made with endurance and low running cost as Pri 1.
    That could be a nice tight-fight cup, for people to learn driving 4wd.

    Does not matter if it is a car that is a good bit slower than R5, since they all will be equal, and drivers talemt and skills matter most.

    That would be boring, a good std. class is equal (although there`s no such thing in reality) etc., but it would kill the point for many builders-drivers.
