“ Le Kit R4, et notre voiture la #MR500X R4 font désormais partie de la classe RC2, et cohabitent avec les R5.
La FIA a communiqué hier que le Kit R4 est autorisé pour toutes les manches de mondial à partir de 2020.
A présent, les voitures Kit R4 peuvent courir dans n’importe quel rallye de n’importe quel championnat à partir de Janvier 2020 (sauf en Italie).
Nous sommes très heureux de ces bonnes nouvelles qui font cesser certaines polémiques ��

What a mess...

[pantealex]

Looks easier than now for me, no more RC2 or RC4

I don’t see RC’s being removed

However, it makes more sense that Rally 2 cars drive in (W)RC2 etc.

[RS]

So if R5 becomes ‘Rally2’ what are we going to call it when retired guys from previous legs restart the following day?

[Barreis]

super rally again probably

[Tarmop]

There is officialy no "rally 2" anyway for the last 2 seasons i believe already? Now it is called "restart".

Who else do you have who has driven a 2017 WRC car (albeit only in test tracks) but has not collected manu points this or last year and is not a gentleman driver? Also, Camilli has done also other testing work like with the Polo, so he's good for the job.

EDIT: I think Lefebvre would also fit the conditions.

I applaud Camilli for carving out a career as a, mainly, test driver so far, very clever. Of course, he wants to be competing, but after 2016 his career could have been over. Having the conversations and agreeing to test the Polo R5, new Fiesta R5 and now the C3 WRC means he has a depth of knowledge across many different cars and teams, which as each test passes, becomes more valuable to each team who is looking for help.
