Top N3 cars have a lot more power than R2 - I think that Civic Type-R or Alfa 147 have around 230-240 Hp.
The rules could take some modifications, yes.
We have R1A (1.4) and R1B (1.6). R1A is clearly a total failure with no interest at all. R1B seems to work somehow especially as the old immortal Civic VTi must disappear one day.
Than we have R2B (1.6), R2C (2.0) and R2T. While R2B has been pretty successful and R2T may work well too the R2C is the only sub-class of the R system which has never been homologated by any manufacturer. As such it shall be either canceled or modified to something meaningful.
What can be done? R1C (nearly same thing like N3)? Doubtful as the 2.0N/A engines nearly disappeared from the market. R1T (near stock car with 1.2 turbo engine)? Maybe this is the way to have relatively powerful and cheap car. Nowadays every B-class car is available with small turbo engine.Last edited by Mirek; 2nd January 2016 at 18:04.
