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 16:37.

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...

But they were developed (same like Suzuki R5) with approval of manufacturer. But in the final it didnt went into official homologation as nobody wanted to pay the fee for it...
