Rally2 (ex-R5) News

If I were Kajto, and unless VW find a fix for the barbecue feature very quickly I would seriously consider pulling the Sardinia entry.

Is Kajto reading this forum?

According to this article he is thinking about switching from VW Polo R5 to Skoda Fabia R5 on Sardinia:

Albert von Thurn und Taxis has already done it.

That's first Polo livery I really like.

Polos are not coming, VW not releasing cars at the moment, until they will solve the fire issue. They already identified the problem and already new parts (similar to Skoda ones were tested during the week, should be tested tomorrow in official VWMOSP car. Seems it solves the problem. So bulletin should be released after the weekend and first updated parts should be ready for Sardegna. And then should be installed in currently build cars and those should be released to customers.

So fires solved. What about the rear suspension breakages ?

[br21]

Rear suspension was not really that big issue, it happened twice only. It was pure low quality welding of the rear arm. So it's really easy to solve.
Much bigger issue was power steering, but seems to be solved soon also.

It says "Printsport" in front and back, chassis #28
But maybe it´s his just like Stugemo´s Polo R5 which is also maintained by Printsport Finland
