    Rally3 - Ford Fiesta Rally3
    Rally4 - Ford Fiesta Rally4
    Rally5 - does Ford Fiesta Rally5 exist???
    What a fantastic achievement for one team to create the full set of of cars.

    None of the full Manufacturer teams have even come close.

    M-Sport should be given the highest award from the FIA.

    The Rally3 Fiesta can be ordered from today, 16 November.

    Hopefully M-Sport can have it homologated from 1/1-21, so someone can use it from the beginning of next season.

    How many cars will they sell in 2021? Will they pass 50?

    Yes i read it all, but many national series starts earlier than that, and if it had been homologated in january, they could plan with one car in 2021. Mainly people that habe to pay the cars themselves.

    I think there is no Rally3 class in any championship by now. The class is about to make a debut in 2021. The amount of the cars at the beginning could not be enough for Rally3 class only, so maybe FIA should think about what to do with these cars in 2021. In my opinion it could be driven in ERC2 where we have Impreza and Evo.

    At the beginning it was told that the restrictor size would vary according to engine capacity, but in June it was finally announced a 30mm restrictor for all Rally3 models.

    I heard Renault was rumoured to be developing one and Hyundai said in the past they were planning to enter the Rally3 area...
    Dirtfish already reported that Toyota and Hyundai will launch Rally3 cars during 2021. With the rules changes it’s not known when, and if, Peugeot and Renault will announce their models; with the same restrictor for all, it’s not clear how 1.2 or 1.3 cars can now match 1.5 or 1.6 machines.

    Does the engine have to be closely based on a road car engine fitted to that model or can the cylinder capacity be enlarged? If no such changes are allowed then it seems rather short sighted they didn’t do something with the restrictor size. It could be rather limiting if a manufacturer does not have a 1.5/1.6 litre engine fitted to the road going model.
