    Then you need to come to Finland to see Ilmo Lario's BMW M3. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O5bsB9c-OAY

    I have also seen WRC2017 and R5 as well as a variety of older factory cars live on stage and I think R5 stands well in spectacularity. Much better than Group N as a support series.

    But one thing about the privateers annoys me is that competition-wise, they are in no man's land. There's usually only one privateer driving their own pace with no competition to the works cars. Maybe they would be more competitive in an R5? This was the case of Henning Solberg this year. Even in Østberg's Fiesta WRC, he couldn't beat the WRC2 top drivers, but in Turkey he was the best-positioned (maybe not fastest) R5.

    EDIT: in terms of noise, the 208 T16 R5 is probably the best of its class, but competition-wise it's among the worst.
