I watched the video yesterday on full screen and tried to get clear of the speedometer. The speedometer is so bright that’s difficult but imo I saw 179 km/h at some stage. I’m far from sure though.

M-Sport confirms it is building a Ford Fiesta R5 car - WRC news - AUTOSPORT.com
“The R5 will be based on the 1.6 turbo Fiesta ST road car and use a lot of the design knowledge and experience generated from the S2000 and the World Rally Car. At the same time, it will be a new car with new engine, transmission, roll cage, fuel tank, electronics, all complying with the strict FIA regulations on design and costs.”
Imo the best way to control the prices of cars and spare parts would be to obligate the companies to put the prices on their websites as it would be more transparent.“Don’t eat the yellow snow” Frank Zappa

The new Fiesta front actually looks a lot like the Abarth Grande Punto!
No testing on the 208 T16 yet?

"One of the main differences between R5 and Super 2000 is the fact that one has the R5 significantly less opportunity to homologate parts again. One can not bring annual Evostufe of the chassis or the engine, "says Peugeot Sport Director Bruno Famin. "The car has to be good from the start, and therefore we will wait with the homologation even until the last minute. And when we realize that it is better for the 1st to the Wait to January 2014, then we will not hesitate to move the appointment. The first shot has to sit really, because after the homologation you have to live with what you have. "
Does anybody here got an idea what is this supposed to mean? No updates at all; no updates on engine peripherals; no updates on engine block only?

That means the number of jokers is very much limited. I'm now on ski and have no will to search for exact rules but compared to the S2000 which were already quite a lot limited by rules the R5 will be much more tied to the original homologation. The idea is that it will help to keep cost down. I'm not convinced about that though.
Anyway I'm sure this topic was discussed several times here on forum.Stupid is as stupid does. Forrest Gump

Have FIA started to think like CIK, that are making 3 year cycluses on chassis and engines. So little or no change during a 3 year homologation periode.
Could be a way to do business in R5 as well. Homologation period 2014-2016 for instance?
When I go to WRC event, I want to see the best drivers as always. If I want to see some national drivers, I can go to some other less popular event.. Just simple.
