    Woops, I missed that page! Sorry folks. Well at least the MN article is fleshed out with Budar and Matton's quotes and the news of the delayed launch.

    I would like to know this too..

    And do we know if there will be a Peugeot version of the new C3 R5, or perhaps an Opel one?

    If there is a restrictor size increase that could make the 208 even more obsolete.

    Famin said this year that they want an R5 version from the new 208. That is supposed to debut in 2018, so R5 version might come in 2019?

    Andreas Mikkelsen did a two-day development test for Hyundai i20 R5 in France over the weekend. They used gravel roads.

    It is quite interesting with the paddle shifts. I have heard in May or June that despite SOME manufacturers were hardly pushing, FIA was talking that they dont want to allow to use paddle shifts on R5 cars...

    Was there ever such talk? I lived under an impression that the reason was mainly to differentiate more R5 and R4 cars.

    The reason for paddle shifts was mainly forced by manufacturers. FIA is happy with R5 category (despite the price is higher that they wanted).
