Not looking too bad tbh and they sound serious about a WRC2 programme. But are there any results for this car we can analyse or point to in order to suggest it is ready for WRC?

[Oops!]

Nothing really yet.

Nothing really yet.

The best for them is to compete with the best.
will Mellor drive himself, together with one or two more cars.
Any ideas for the other drivers they have?

[Mirek]

It makes no sense only to be there. They have to take some of the very best drivers available to achieve also some remarkable results like they did in the past with the Satria S2000.

If its money available, they should hire some of the free drivers, like Tidemand, Meeke, Lappi(?), Paddon, etc, for single outings or whole season in ERC and WRC3.

Maybe Mellor should give Mikkelsen a call, to get him in for a few rallies in either WRC or ERC, to get the car a real test.
He has been quick in many cars, and should give them a good bunch of data and feedback!

Craig would have been a good choice if he hadnt signed for MRF. Won an event in several of the other R5 cars in 2019..

Yes, I guess he wants to keep his ties to Hyundai though.

I can't see Mikkelsen dropping back to a Proton R5 tbh, but Proton/MEM did hire some good drivers during the Satria Neo S2000 era. Would be good to see them do the same again.

We’ve seen the new Yaris WRC starting testing over on the WRC forums, do we know anything about the rumoured Rally2/R5 version?

[Karbonyl]

Last rumour I heard was the project has been halted for the moment.

Really don't like this new 'Rally 2' name for R5 cars, sounds silly.
