Rally2 (ex-R5) News

[manthey]

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.

Maybe they will fix.
Previous gen Hyundai R5 was with more torque? Solans entrylist in catalunya was with that old

Crugnola(2021) and Basso (2022)used new i20

New car for Rally2?

I understanded in an intervju with Østberg that Citröen would quit Rally2, but one of the other Stellantis brands will build a car instead.
I understanded that Stellantis wanted a brand in each category, also the top class.
But who knows, times is changing rapidly these days.

Both Peugeot and Fiat/Abarth/Lancia would be viable options, but they've been very quiet about this lately...

Peugeot sounds good as legacy with the 207 s2000.
Lancia still no new model
Abarth for heritage

Yes, wery quiet from Stellantis.
Opel has Rally 4 and 5, and this electric one.
Renault is not Stellantis?
Citröen has Rally2, but put it down?
So, what brand can step in eventually?
Fiat, Peugeot, Lancia, abarth? One of the US ones, if they have a WRC in america?

Mikkelsen and Eriksen will debut it (Toksport unit) at Lausitz Rallye.

Looks like it's setup for Safari!

Still think it's weird they chose Lausitz (where they will learn almost nothing) instead of Catalunya. I guess the real reason was they didn't want to interfere with the end of the WRC2 season.

Opel has Rally 4 and 5, and this electric one. Only 4. all tech parts is from Pug 208.
Renault is not Stellantis?No, Renault/Nissan
Citröen has Rally2, but put it down? Someone have said that, nothing confirmed.
So, what brand can step in eventually? My guess would be Pug or Opel, since they have a Rally4 already. But who knowes!
Fiat, Peugeot, Lancia, abarth? One of the US ones, if they have a WRC in america?
I am guessing no US brand is interested.

They dont need to learn anything. This start is mainly to show the speed of car. And as they needed/wanted to start with the car this year, not so many events on at least average level was available...
