Rally 3 class

[Fast Eddie WRC]

I wonder if Toksport (Clio Trophy team) will play a role n testing and maybe running the cars in future ?

First testfilm, but not with enginesound.

I see that they are testing without a roof wing installed. Is that a normal way to start, or could they experience inbalance when they put it on the car?

I think they are at a phase where it doesnt really matter much, just testing component reliability and alltogether functionality. later when they go for performance testing, it will matter more I think.

When looking at the other categories, one surprise only: Fotia is missing in ERC4 (a bit surprising for a tarmac driver). Renault disappointed with his results? (Also some rumors about management changes in Renault/Alpine Sport; if true, maybe some impacts on their Rally3 program?)

What are the rumours?

What are the rumours?

Heard rumors about Benoit Nogier (customer competition leader) to be sidelined.

If true (it’s only something I heard by a person knowing a bit the business but not in the brand itself, so it’s why I’m only talking about rumors), it may imply some changes in the strategy because Nogier was the one who build the current Rally strategy of the brand.
I don’t say it will have an impact on Rally3 (don’t know one side or another) but maybe at least on the formula series by Clio or things like that.

Any more news on the Clio Rally3 or Benoit Nogiers roles?

18-year-old Max McRae, son of Alister and nephew of the famous Colin, tested Ford Fiesta Rally3 in Poland last week. He would like to run a Junior WRC campaign in 2023. More about it here:

- Sounds different than the Fiesta.
- Suspension needs more work
- Strange they test without a rear roof spoiler, even if it is less efective than Rally2 spoiler, it will affect road holding.

Good they are testing. They need a Fiesta to compare :-)

Are any nations planning to make Rally3 top class?
