National homologation, but technically adhering to the Rally4 regulations?

Yes, I think the car was made using the FIA Rally4 rulebook. However, to be international homologated Kia had to pay for it. Don't think it will happen. Chassis #1 had a pretty big shunt this weekend during the shakedown at the last round of the Portuguese Champ

Ah thank you.

Finland differ from the other Nordic countries with very few or none Rally4 cars running.
There are two clios registered on fonish plates, but tose are used by Gazoo Jr drivers.

Why is this, are the youngsters driving older FWD/ RWD cars in the national series instead?

Finland has quite a lot of Rally4 cars, mostly Fiestas, but also 208. And at least 4 Clios. In Finland it's not possible to follow cars by reg plates as those are temporary stickers.

We have more than 20x Rally4 cars here.

TGS (Gardemaister) has bought totally 7x Clio Rally4 (Japanese did crash 2 in same day...) chassis
1x 208 for Justus Räikkönen
and about 15x Fiesta Rally4

Finnish Championship has had more than 10x Rally4 entries in every event 2022. That's way more than Norway/Sweden have had.

[Andre Oliveira]

Pitty no Fiesta trophy like old days.

[Sulland]

Point taken, but hard to find these in eWrc db due to that in Finland they register the car temporarely for each rally.

What is the reason for that the majority of teams/drivers chooses the Fiesta? Is it better on loose surfaces than the french, or is it less expensive?
