Rally 3 class

[Mirek]

Sulland, it's not one sided game of costs. As you get higher in the overal standings you also get to better sponsorship deals because sponsors simply want to be exposed. Therefore you can't simply take running cost of a Rally2 car and compare it with running costs of Rally3 car because for both of them you are most likely unable to secure the same sponsorship deals.

[Sulland]

Probably true Mirek.
But I am just trying to understand the figures on "ish" running costs for the two 4wd classes. The price you as a driver would have to pay to drive a full ERC series.

[Sulland]

With Rally4 prices from 70k, the 100k for a Rally3 seems like a good deal.

[Sulland]

Has anything leaked out on the 4wd system chosen for the Fiesta, or has Fia said anything on tech regs for that system?

Do anyone know more on the 4wd system on Rally3 compared to the Rally2 cars?
Is it simpler than on the Rally2 ?

It can not be any simpler.

To your question - it's basically the same thing.

Yes, just components are smaller.
Next week Msport organizes drive days with their new Rally3 so more details should be known.

Is this by invitation only, have any info gotten out on this happening?

[br21]

yes, sure, especially nowdays during pandemic times all is by invitation, etc

I would not expect many details to be shown, but maybe drivers' comments will be useful.

[Sulland]

I am guessing Ken Torn, and others that har ordered cars for ERC use will be first in line, together with the ones used for testing the car before.
Maybe also som key buyers/teams from around the world that have said they would like to give rally3 a go in national series.

I think MSport will sell more than they thought of this one in 2021.
