    Exactly and now when there is nothing left in the stock production (even Impreza is about to end soon) there is no use of talking about gr.N. It's just a past, nothing more.

    The new Subaru wrx is likely to come in 2020. Stick transmission and 2.4 liter engine? But the 'long' wheelbase chassis might be not so favourable for people hoping for the front of topline rally competition.

    Think I still like the hatchback subaru - it has been a good relatively affordable car for a number of nz competitors to run.
    e.g nz dad and son competitors having a go in targa.

    As above in this thread list - mazda 2 2015 shares the all wheel drive compact suv platform so has the shaft to rear diff tunnel there already. reduces a bit work for a oreca r4 type conversion.

    The ap4 nz toyota yaris is listed at $220 000 and a few other costs are mentioned in this article. https://rallysportmag.com/r5-vs-ap4-...wn-to-dollars/

    If this new "R3" class going to happen, what happens to the R4 kit, and what kind of rules is possible?
    I really hopes FIA give this a real chance, not strangle it before it even start.

    It's hard to believe that the FIA will bin the R4 Kit. For now there's just that info on Rally Magazin, which seems too vague.

    I thought just the numbering would change. From R4 to R3

    Milano Racing and Oreca are building a new rally car - Fiat 500X R4 (sorry, both articles in French):

    As jbmarcus indicated on another thread, there’s a PR in English: https://www.oreca.com/en/news_oreca/...ration-france/



    On their fb page, Milano Racing is also saying they’re willing to enter the MR 500X R4 in next year ERC.

    It’s great to know R4 is still alive; best luck to Milano Racing and their 500X.

    As I see it, its a good thing that someone dares to go in front and build a car or two, so we can see the R4 kit in action, and then make up our opinion.
    So far we have only made comments based on cost and what we believe.

    Compact crossovers are lovely cars to see rally. In America there's a Nissan Juke competing in the open class of many rallies, and it's pretty cool looking, not to mention it doesn't for a moment look ill proportioned.
