Rally2 (ex-R5) News

That's just a new R4 name under the new system.

So it is a 4 wheel drive car to compete in Rally2 class or what?

R4 and R5 were booth in RC2 too. Nothing changed, just the name.

Rally1 cars -> WRC spec -> RC1 category
Rally2 cars -> R5 spec -> RC2 category
Rally2-Kit cars -> R4 spec -> RC2 category
Rally3 cars -> New 4WD spec -> RC3 category
Rally4 cars -> R2 spec -> RC4 category
Rally5 cars -> R1 spec -> RC5 category

Then perhaps someone should rename the R4 topic as ‘Rally2 Kit’

You were the one telling us to use the new official FIA class names, no?

Yes and still am, but that´s name of discussion, should be "Rally2+Kit news and results"

New Fabia road car is coming in the spring. Hopefully we’ll see a concept Rally2 car soon after and the first public tests..

The new car is likely to be prettier than the current Fabia but also wider so it may lose that chunky chiselled look of the current R5 car that i rather like.

The car general appearance (size, proportions) is similar to current Polo.

I wouldn't count on it this year, especially they when they just updated the current car

Maybe not homologation but testing I think yes. Mikkelsen already said he would be involved in testing the new car.
