New, quite big upgrade of Fabia evo will be homologated from 1.01.21, similar was probably planned for Polo but most likely won't happen.

To bad, quite like the polo.

[Andre Oliveira]

It seems the upgrade is tested, only need VW homologation on FIA. Not clear that that will happen.

Seems like a further insult to customers if they don't... ridiculous.

[Sulland]

How much work is it to get a joker approved?
Are we talking weeks or months of paperwork?

What is the process for an OEM to get this done, please educate us you here that have been part of processes like this before!

[br21]

It's not only paperwork and homologation. You need to make, stock and sell those upgraded parts.

[Andre Oliveira]

So, 4 cars to France (Quentin Gilbert, Stéphane Consani and 2 more) with TM Competition.




And one to Sweden, Mattias Adielsson who will defend the crown of Ford Fiesta Rally2 in SM against the champion Per Gunnar Andersson in same car in 2021.

Not will, I think that the work has been underway for quite a time already

But for sure we won't see the car until the stock one is presented...
