    Service Park talk at last weekend's APRC Rally of Whangarei (NZ) was that the Proton works team would return to APRC this year, possibly as early as next round, which is beginning of June. Personally, I doubt that timing as its homologation will not be completed by then.

    I'm going to repeat my question. Approval for what exactly?

    New rules and an e-series are probably inevitable in the near future.
    Any electrification of this sport in the foreseeable future will 100% sure consist on Hybrid powertrains, so a bit pointless to invest in a full EV rally car.

    This is just an attempt from a dying project to get some headlines, unfortunately.

    New R5 homologations

    Is the Proton still planned to be homologated in July?

    Can we expect to see the Polo driven in anger in a local rally before it will get the official approval?

    I also find it strange that Mitsubishi do not see a potential to get represented in Rally again, almost for free. If they feel that it is not fast enough, I guess that MPart would appreciate help to improve it from Mitsubishi Motorsport.

    Are there more cars that are in the pipeline?

    Current Mitsubishi marketing is based on environmental friendly vehicles. Traditional motorsport simply doesn't fit the strategy.
