Rally2 (ex-R5) News

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Maybe you don't know or remember that in Rally2/R5 car all "4 corners" must be fitted with same parts (dampers, hubs etc) so AP4 isn't useful at all.

"Suspension and chassis wise, the AP4 was designed with simplicity in mind, again for private teams to be able to run the cars and trying to keep costs down. So we have interchangeable uprights and suspension arms in all the corners,” said Paddon.

“In terms of the suspension, obviously very upright so we probably have limited travel compared to some Rally2 cars, but in terms of specification of the dampers, very much the same.

“Same technology inside these dampers as what you’ll find in Rally2 cars. Brake packages [are] all very standard. All the same across all four corners as a Rally2 car."

Skoda have produced aprox 400 R5s, 200 Rally2 evo, and have orders for 150 RS Rally2 cars.
So 750 cars sold from level 2 in the rally world. That is an amazing achievement, and a success not many in the motorsportsworld can match!!

Also about 100 S2000s

So his Hyundai is like Rally2 but that still doesn't help Toyota at all ...

So looks like Stellantis close plan has been made.
-Citroen for Rally2
-Still no signal for Rally3
-Peugeot and Opel in Rally4 and 5.

Hopefully one brand will make a Rally3.

New car for Rally2?

Not sure, but have given Rossels name for a backed season in WRC2.

But that is a tough field of cars, so maybe easier to get a title in WRC3.

Finnish TV said that Hyundai i20 N Rally2 has bad torque, it must be used at a narrow rev range, otherwise there's no torque. For example Skoda is better in this sense.
