Holy shit, surely some parts are traceable.

Hmm, yes, is there much of a black market for Fabia R5 parts?

[electroliquid]

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.

Well that engine from OPC is very powerful, downsized it still could be powerful and reliable. Wonder what engine Holzer used in Opel R5.

it has also 86 mm bore, same as Mitsubishi 4B11/Hyundai Theta which is a basis for very good Hyundai R5 engine. M-sport has 83 mm, Škoda has 82,5 mm, PSA EP6 has only 77 mm.

VW newsletter didn't mention to who in Portugal. All other customers were named.

A Racing Team by the name of Team Novadriver also mentioned that they were looking into rallying with the Polo

With Raimund Baumschlager being also one of the main test drivers, BRR is going to be the prime customer team again - They will have already lots of experience with the car straight from the beginning.

Johan Kristoffersson in Polo R5 will be interesting. He has big potential.
