That fast. There is something about that fiesta that reminds me of Pikes Peak. And I mean the car not the location

If rumours are correct, 2017 WRC cars are about 1 sec pr km faster than todays cars.
That is the same difference as between todays R5 and WRC!

Those who say that this is not the new Group B - those people r lyin´!

Is there an argument to be made for increasing the R5 restrictor from 32mm to 34mm to try and maintain/lessen the gap between 2017 WRC and the R5s? Basically the FIA adopting the R5+ spec that M-Sport came out with a couple of years ago, which they said meant an extra 30bhp.

How do You define new gr.B? In 80' the gr.B was was something totally out of this world. The cars had often 10x bigger power than common stock cars and higher than anything one could buy. Today everybody can buy a second hand car with 300-400 Hp for little money and try how it feels himself and those who have money can buy Bugatti Veyron or Königsegg CCX and have 3x the power of WRC car. I wouldn't compare that as today's WRC are not about brutal power combined with primitive transmission, bad suspension and tyres.

If You want to make R5 cars a lor more expensive and a lot less reliable otherwise it makes no sense.
