What do people mean by M-Sport 'jokers' - could the the R5+ modifications now be submitted for homologation ?

"The Fiesta R5+ incorporates a modified turbo and air-intake system. The standard 32mm restrictor has also been replaced with a 34mm example which provides the engine with an extra 30hp."

R5+ cannot be homologated with FIA. It is just for national championships. Maybe it only runs in UK?
Jokers are some permitted modifications to the original homologation of the R5 car.

Does anyone know for sure what is permitted to be changed and how many changes each car can have?

I'd like to see this at Barum as the zero car. And this is the real R5+ (literally).

If R5 continue to break like this, this can carry more spare parts at the boot. How about for example a spare gearbox?

I had already forgot about Motorsport Monday.

There was some talk about transmission, dampers etc. Skoda will use couple weeks ago.
