New R4 Car - Think Tank

[Fast Eddie WRC]

It's not that simple with R5 due to rather complicated rules. It's actually very difficult to develop it. Every team found that, even VW had a lot of issues in R5 development. The main problem is that You have to use a lot of stock parts and You have a given price list not only for the car but also for most of its parts. This is extremely difficult to handle.

Speaking of R5 costs and especially parts, M-Sport told us they carry a parts stock of £2.5m to the rallies for their Fiesta R5 customers.

This makes it easier for their customer cars to source what they need but its certainly not much cheaper.
