Because it's all we've got here!

And to be fair, Osian Pryce changing to a VW Polo going forward is somewhat newsworthy.

Maybe newsworthy within British rallying thread or something. Pryce has done 2 R5 starts during the last three years so he's now "changing"? Is this even a permanent change or just a test drive?

Seemingly he was supposed to be in the Polo from the second BRC round onwards, before it was cancelled. He's hoping to do some "high profile events" in 2021, but we'll see if he gets the budget.

This says the car won't be available until summer 2021 but I can't find English source for it

It could be, as the road C3 got a facelift (named Phase II) a couple of months ago. Anyway, the R5 version has been constantly improved although PSA Sport is not using the Evo badge every time they sort a new joker kit, like they did in the 208 and DS3 years.

The Evo on the Peugeot and DS3 was a very extensive joker. At least on the DS3 that I know better, it was a lot of parts on the cooling, direction, suspension and alternator. All at the same. Still, that car is a bit crazy xD

Pontus Tidemand was testing Proton Iriz R5 at a secret location somewhere in the UK last week:

Re Iriz R5 - two were going to run this weekend at the NH Stages at Oulton Park, the first event of the MSN Circuit Championship.

But its just been postponed due to the UK lockdown.
