Rally2 (ex-R5) News

Well, it is still a VW effort and like every other VAG motorsport division recently, including VW motorsport, they have been at the top from day 1+ they say already 15 cars are sold. So i think that Solberg, maybe not being able to be at the top, would still be great for publicity.

Afaik there are already nearly 100 pieces sold! Only 15 will be delivered this year. If you order now, you might get your car by 2020...

Old model, road fiesta model did change almost 2 year ago...

M-Sport should bring new R5 to market asap

Already last year the Fiesta seemed out of pace with Skoda, who has kept bringing updates. Also this year no major M-Sport WRC2 program apart from Greensmith, who seems still like a rookie

There were also quite many technical problems with Fiestas lately, at least here in CZ.

Camilli retired Monte and Deutschland because of technical problems, also lost positions in last year's Catalunya. Suninen's power steering broke in Wales.

Let's not even start with the Fiestas power steering problem. That list will be a way too long.
