Jennings livery for Ulster

Spencer Sport:
It's been a busy few days for us in Ireland, as we prepare for the Ulster Rally that takes place tomorrow (Friday) and Saturday. After arriving on Monday, we carried out an extensive test with Garry Jennings & Rory Kennedy in the Mitsubishi R5.
With almost a full-day's running on closed stretches of road, we were able to run through our programme and get both cars dialled in and set up to deal with the unique character of the Northern Irish asphalt. Garry got to grips with the Mirage and came away from the test very satisfied with progress.
A re-prep of both cars took place yesterday (Wednesday), followed by a brief shakedown and the re-livery of the Mirage in the colours of Garry's sponsors 'Go'. Scrutineering in Derry/Londonderry takes place later today.Last edited by Fast Eddie WRC; 18th August 2016 at 17:37.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X0r_eZ9fOas Test video from the i20 R5. Looks less impressive than in Ypres imo.

It seems so. It might be Proton Iriz R5. Again it seems to me very beautiful. Anyway the real question is: "Will it be fast enough and competitive?" Fingers crossed for that.
Visit South Moravia. It is the real paradise

Nice surprise! It's fair to say that MEM did a good job on the S2000 Satria, considering they had slighter resources than the other manus tuners.

Slow start for Jennings in the Mirage in Ulster - only 13th on SS1 - 43sec down.
Jennings: 'The R5 is completely different to drive'
But some bad conditions there for him in a new car...

They are trying to rebuilding the brand and that's the excellent way to do it. Also want to sell the car on various market. More brands should follow them. Just glad that they didn't go into some...
