I find that if you play it in 480p you get the natural speed. With anything in 720p or 1080p with either 50 or 60 fps indicated, the payback speed isn't represented accurately by my PC or (relatively high end) phone, it's always too fast. Normal 720p or 1080p are fine though.

Proton Iriz R5 driven by Ollie Mellors at Goodwood. I'm not 100% but last I saw he was fastest on the rally stage, beating the earlier times of Evans & Ostberg.

Will the car be homologated 1 August, or is it further delayed?
Do they have any orders on it yet?

I noticed that with some other videos as well. I don't understand the technical aspects of that though.

Remember that in the past Mitsubishi used same bodywork in 3 different homologation numbers:
Evo, II and III all have same body
IV, V and VI also all have same body
VII, VIII and IX also share same body

so for sure can Skoda also make new R5 to same bodywork, old one is for sure old enough.

I think that the same can be said aboout Focus WRC 99-02 and 03-05. Also Lancer WRC step 1-2 and 04-07.

didn't know that 2007 homologation saw the light. i heard that they wanted to homologate some stuff when Al-Quasimi wanted to rent the car but didn't know that they really did it

That's an interesting point, but why for example did PSA not do this with the 208/DS3 R5 disaster?

They did, and claimed that the new parts made the car faster by 0.5-0.8s/km IIRC.

Basso will run Rally Vinho da Madeira at the wheel of an i20 entered by Hyundai Portugal (probably Vieira rebuilt unit).
