Anyone that knows what is happening to the Proton Iriz R5, are they competing at all in 2020?
They need a top driver to promote it in ERC or WRC imo, so customers can see what it is good for.

Unlike with the Satria S2000 I don't see any sign of potential in the Iriz R5 to compete against the top dogs. The car looks to be a lost case unfortunately.

TBF, COVID19 is still around. And I dunno if rallying in UK has been restarted..

That would be great but the program seems to be underfunded since the beginning. Proton is still recovering from a serious crisis, which forced them to let Geely get a 49.9% stake and lead the company. https://asia.nikkei.com/Business/Chi...-price-of-235m

Anyway, the Iriz R5 late development and homologation already happened under Geely management so, who knows, maybe we’ll end seeing it on a top international series. Fingers crossed and hat off to MEM.

I find it ironic that you reply to this topic with news about the car being entered to a race best known for dusting off rally cars from museums...
