Everybody compares internally their cars with competitors and use their design for inspiration

What are your expectations of the C3 R5, compared to the top two, on both surfaces?

Well, I'd expect it to be on par with the Fabia. As far as the Fiesta goes, it is the oldest R5 car, and so I think they have already reached its potential so to speak. Hopefully they've learnt from their mistakes in the C3 WRC development and the old PSA R5s as well. It was good to see many various drivers to test it, even though I would have liked some more experienced ones, like Bouffier or Sarrazin, hell, even Loeb, to get a test with it as well. So all in all, hopefully it is a good car, and many will be on the stages challenging for wins and titles.

I'm not so optimistic like You for several reasons.
1) Although the base EP6 engine went meanwhile through some serious development it still brings some cons compared to the direct opponents. It has narrow pistons and small space for valves, overall non-ideal bore-stroke ratio and likely less robust block.
2) We can see that even the higher-priority project, i.e. C3 WRC suffers from many problems.
For sure I believe that C3 will be a step forward from DS3 or 208 but I don't believe that it's going to be a car to beat.Stupid is as stupid does. Forrest Gump

Could PSA use the Opel A16SHT engine, that is in the Astra, now that they have that one inside their umbrella?
Guess it is too late now, but could they re homologate with new block later?

No, unless they use the engine in some Citroën model. Also in my opinion the two litre turbo from Astra OPC would be a better base.
