The swedish R5 is testing this month. Hopefully it is good constructed and some proper testdrivers.

Abbring used newly homologated diff housing in France. During the rally they had no major technical problems.

The front is lovely! The rear - nothing stunning, but certainly better than the previous.
Could it be ready for 1st January?
