Rally2 (ex-R5) News

[RICARDO75]

Just before, with S2000...
International homologation: Polo, Punto, 207, Fabia, Fiesta, Corsa, MG ZR, Corolla, Satria
Regional homologation: Fiesta (Aus), Corolla (Aus), Auris (Aus), Auris (RSA), Polo 5D (RSA)
National homologation: Lada 112 (Rus)
S2000 1.6T alias RRC: Mini, Fiesta, DS3

It shall be mentioned that S2000 were forcefully stopped by FIA when they were at their popularity peek (2011). They didn't die from the lack of interest.

And also the Polo S2000 1.6T (RRC). Never competed, but was tested and homologated.

True... I forgot about some of those models. In honesty though, glorious as the sound was, reality is moving away from N/A and into forced induction so I kind of understand the FIA decision.

New Polo presented (R5 base model). 4.053mm long (2.564mm wheel base). Apparently, no 3dr model expected.



According to some news, C3 R5 development was paused till C3 WRC issues are solved.

Btw, when will MSport make a new R5 based on current Mk7 Fiesta (like the ’17 WRC)?

[Andre Oliveira]

Yes, M-Sport just started R5 2018

When are we going to hear something official on increasing the restrictor size plus the associated mechanical changes required to handle the increased power? If pretty much all the manufacturers are working on next year now, surely it's too late for the FIA to change the regs now or do they just need to act fast? Or are the manufactures already aware?

Of course they are aware when something is being prepared. FIA and manufacturers keep in contact all the time. I just hope, just like PLuto, that it stays like it is.
