Rally2 (ex-R5) News

I think mapping will be the same all the time, only different options for different fuels. Same like it is with S2000 ECUs - those from R5 should also be locked.
Different will be manufacturer, in Fiesta S2000 that is Pectel-Cosworth, in R5 it will be LifeRacing. Also wiring will be cheaper - cheaper wires, connectors, etc.
I don't know about engine rebuilds in R5. In S2000 they are mostly done by M-Sport.

According to info from M-Sport reubilds will be after 2000 kms and it is only one part of car which cannot be rebuild by team themselves.

Aha, so same like with S2000, only 500kms more between rebuilds.

From what I know top-S2000's had 600km between rebuilds (very last engines). Most "common" used at Peugeot have 1200km between rebuilds. So it is quite a difference.

I think that top-S2000 is also Fabia and it has more than 600kms between rebuilds...

Peugeot had in one engine evolution those 600kms, now it's way more again, I think they changed pistons or sth. similar and rebuild period is now quite acceptable. In Fiesta it's 1500kms, in Fabia I don't know exact figures, but surely way more than 600kms
