Is the Clio that much better, so that the fiesta is outpaced

Was the Fiesta upgraded when it was renamed from R1 to Rally5 or is it still 150 hp?
It has nothing to do with the old R1. I think it's about on the level of the Clio, but it's a bit behind.

Like you say, the Clio is used in a lot of cups. It's good publicity for the car as a lot of quick guys drive the car. Also, a lot of cars are for rent as big teams have several cars to rent for cups.
