Very nice but not for the summer weather! One Czech car magazine recently measured difference in interior temperature of a black and silver car standing on the sun and there was massive 14°C difference inside. Comparison with white car will be even more brutal (big difference shall be expected also in engine bay).

But as far as WRC designs go it doesn't seem to be the trend!

Do You remember this livery?
You can guess why it quietly transformed into this during the season

Hmm I'm not sure really. I think you'd get cheaper options but if you want to actually be competitive you'd still need to be in a Fiesta/Fabia/Polo etc. Originally Posted by Fast Eddie WRC

Exactly. While I would like to see a possibility to develope R5 cars without manufacturer involvement I do agree that there is very very little chance such car could ever be successful. The history repeatedly proves that there is direct corelation between the success rate and the effort spent, i.e. the manufacturers have huge advantage over any privateer. It has to be taken into account that R5 cars are no F1 and nobody can expect a serious interest of big private players. In the end the performance is what wins and cheap but slow cars have never ever managed to succeed.
I personaly dare to say that both with R5 and previous S2000 FIA finally found a working receipt on how to make regional/national championships great again.Last edited by Mirek; 31st August 2017 at 20:20.
