Rally2 (ex-R5) News

I think they identified the cause of the engine failures and I presume it was a dodgy batch of parts or incorrect assembly of something. Kajto made it through Safari ok!

I agree the new car ought to be at it’s best on a fast and smooth rally like Spain or NZ. Old car still seems to be performing pretty well though, Mikkelsen surprised me with his speed in Estonia.

I wonder what Toksport think as it could affect them too if the new car is used and has issues ?

The old Fabia Evo is still winning so it would make sense to see out this season with it for those with Championships at stake.

I think that Mikkelsen might struggle to beat Rossel in Catalunya with the old car (if they go for that rally). He reportedly doesn't like how it understeers on smooth tarmac.

This is nothing new. Original plan for debut in Finland was postponed many weeks ago...

Think he also said "at this level" (WRC)
