Rally 3 class

[skarderud]

If i remember correctly, a top spec impreza Gr.N from Tommi Mäkinen Racing costed over 100K with spares.
A Mitsubishi Evo X R4 costed 120K, again, if i remember correctly.

But most Gr.N imprezas costed from 70-80K, probably "clean".

Top spec N4 cars cost way more than 100.000€.
For Prodrive Impreza N12 in 2006 they paid around 120.000-130.000€ (just car), also top spec EVO9 N4 with all possible parts from Ralliart was more than 100.000€.

Mad prices for Group N if you consider 2006 vs 2022, just only on inflations terms

Note that the Renault will be a pure customer operation for the Clio Rally3 as they have no in-house rally team to run it. Unlike M-Sport (Poland) which did the Fiesta.

Any ideas which teams may buy/run the new Clio for customers apart from Chazel and Fun Meca Sport ?

They will build 1 Rally3/week. I'm sure there will be a waiting list. I know there are a few of them ordered for the Netherlands.

I guess there are many french teams that could do it on their behalf. Toksport are already there, and have links to Renault.
And MSport Poland is concentrating on JWRC I guess.

on the other hand, could be good with a championship for the privateers !

Toksport sold all Clios right after Barum and, as far as I know, they don't plan to keep running the Clio Trophy.

But Rally3 is not relative to N4. In a lot of countries back in the day, the group N was a top tier car with which you could fight for overall victories/podiums. Now the Rally3 barely fights a Rally4 car.
Also with the N4 you could start on a low budget and step by step build it up to a top spec. With the Rally3 you are on 120 000 Euro from the get go.
So I don't think Rally3 replaces N4, it is it's own new group with it's customers.

You are right, but the era of N4 is gone. I mean the whole concept of having "stock" car and building better and better car is not technically possible due to macro-economical reasons. So the customers could be quite similar group ...
