    Yes, all R5 cars except DS3 and 208 are very quiet. Clio R3 or Civic R3 are much louder.

    Let a few R-GT cars in as well. Now they are crowd pleasers.

    Is there a better sound than that of Porsche engined Flat-6 ???

    R-GTs on the Isle of Man would be a sight to behold!

    Noise AND spectacle ... they need both in the BRC and none of the 2wd cars have any sense of spectacle, even the louder ones.

    Finally the BRC is back on the right road !

    It would be great to see some different R5's fighting for the title in the UK.. lets hope there's plenty of entries and make the rallies worth watching again.

    Some drivers from Europe and Scandinavia would be fantastic - I'm sure they'd love to drive our classic forest stages...

    Lets hope the top class doesn't just become a gentleman driver class and the serious competitors compete in the 2WD classes until jumping ship to ERC-3 or JWRC
