Very short sighted if so as so many of their importers in countries unlikely ever to see a WRC round or Rally 1 car have been able to use the cars. Ok so most days its not a Fabia beater but its as good as if not better than the Fiesta.

But I guess it is more of a concept car they will reveal?

I think it was just one stage on the Saturday night it will do a demo run

What? So how does that work? Vw dont do new Polos, Msport cannot build new Fiestas, Hyundai will stop the i20s...
Is Citroen doing cars yet?
Can the teams still race these cars for a few years (until new gen?)? Where they can find parts to replace after crashes?

If it continues like that, all Rally2 competition will soon turn into a Skoda Fabia cup...

Skoda Fabia RS Rally2 lookalike liveries are already made for DR 2.0...

To look like the new bigger car, I change the aspect ratio to 14:10 making it seem longer, lower & wider...

Here is a picture of the Yaris. Looks quite finished to me

I don’t know if it’s the colour scheme or what but I’m really disappointed with that, it looks bloody awful. I know this will be a development car and not necessarily what the final product will look like but the AP4 version never had the same problem - maybe that’s because it was only seen in all white then in TGR colours

Edit: found a video, confirming a 3-cyl engine https://youtu.be/T-3EIsXQ1as
