Rally2 (ex-R5) News

Polo looks nice but as the road car is so wide it doesn't look as wild as some other R5s.

From that one video it has a similar lazy, long geared sound to the Fabia, but that's no surprise.

I am sure that R5 cars can be in very good condition in private hands. I think that Gemini Citroen DS3 R5 was better than any other factory car.

I think that Fabias of BRR or Kresta Racing are on similar level like factory cars.

Μaybe i wasn't clear enough.I was not reffering to national championsips,we all know that Paolos car in Italy was perfect for example.I mean how good are to international level.About Fabias of BRR or Kresta Racing the car is also running by factory team and that's why these cars are so good,we say the same thing.

if you just design the car(even if the product is really good) and you do not follow it to rallies as a factory team i think you have a HUGE disadvantage compared to other teams that follow their cars with their official engineers.i have been many times to tests and the difference between a factory team and a private team is HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE from all aspects.I think there is a big difference to collect the data directly (from your own )than from a team that you have a cooperation.By that they know the car much better and can evolve it more efficiently

Sure VW will send their "data people" to rallies for customers, just like M-Sport and Skoda are doing.

Difficult to say for sure but from this photo it looks like the Polo has a more conventional front suspension layout than the Skoda: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DQcswolVQAAXc5e.jpg
