Good news, maybe we'll see this in other categories in the future as well.

So to me it looks like you can get almost any car, use some mandatory parts from the kit and you have a race car that you can upgrade it by using non-mandatory parts until you have full Rally5 car. Sounds really promising!

To me it looks like manufacturers don't really care about Rally5 as they can sell very similar Rally4 for more money.

Would be really great to allow something like that in Rally3. But I can't see the same with Rally2 or Rally4 with how FIA goes on hand to manufacturers.

Pretty much the same as above, but now in english.

I am guessing that there will be a Spanish Cup for the Rally5-Kit Suzuki.

With 15 000 for the kit, how much could a complete car be, with a possible dicount for a new donorcar?

It is almost impossible for there to be a Suzuki Swift Cup again in Spain since the brand withdrew its official support a year ago and withdrew from the official competition.

Iirc Spanish Suzuki Cup was never supported by Suzuki itself, always by Spanish branch, which will stay the same. If it was supported by Suzuki, they would make Rally5 with FIA homologation and wouldn't need to create this Rally5-kit class.

Weatley: "Das erste Auto, das das Rally5-Kit-Reglement verwenden wird, wird der Suzuki sein, der in Zusammenarbeit mit der RFEdA in Spanien homologiert worden ist. Er wird ab 2024 an den Start gehen, und wir arbeiten mit einer Reihe von ASNs auf der ganzen Welt zusammen, um ähnliche Ein-Marken-Meisterschaften zu entwickeln,..."

In english: Suzuki will be homologated in Spain and there will be a one make cup in 2024.
