Rally2 (ex-R5) News

[EightGear]

Organisers of the Dutch Tank S Rally are teasing about the entry of a car not yet seen on Dutch roads. The put this picture with it, of the Mitubishi R5.

Could this be possible? I doubt it, since there's no homologation yet. However, Jasper van den Heuvel is entered with an unspecified car and he's got a pretty long lasting relationship with Mitsubishi.

It has just been confirmed the Mitsubishi R5 will start as an X car on the Tank S rally. They will use it as a tarmac test. Quite exciting, I hope to be there.

Any comments from Breen on how he felt the Ds3 compared to the 208?

[HaCo]

That might be the perfect drive for Jasper VdH or why not Bijvelds? :-D

[tommeke_B]

why not Bijvelds? :-D

So the car can make it's debut with a bigger restrictor than allowed?

[EightGear]

It won't be Van den Heuvel driving, but Swede Hans-Erik Weng. He has done the rally 3 times before.

Personally I'm quite surprised it will make it's 'debut' in the Netherlands.

Because they didnt wanted to let the car to rally in Sweden due to safety reasons

[EightGear]

I know, but still, there are other countries. I don't mind at all though.

New DS3 for Armt G Olsen from Mandal. He got the car later than planned and will do a rally in Sweden to get to know it a bit before Rally Sørland in late April.

A used car from PH Sport?

[Sulland]

Not sure, probably some other norwegian in here that knows more, but I see it says PHSport on it.

The storey says he has been waiting for the car for some time, amd that he hoped to get it soon enough for one ot two winter rallies, but the car was not ready until now.
Rally Sørland is the first gravel rally of the norwegian championship.
