I am realy afraid that Citroen will copy these cars!!!

I think that is a mistake to sell the new car to the customers later in the season, or not?
I think that customers should not been preffered more than the success of the factory team, or am I wrong?
Ford does not want another title in the year 2012, 2013…?!? I don't understand this strategy - the strategy of the Ford's factory team!

M-Sport: "Money, Money, Money"...

This not about WRC cars, but new generation S2000 cars.

The decision of FIA to still call these cars Super 2000 makes things confused.

Until 2010, you had 2,0l turbocharged World Rally Cars and 2,0l N/A Super 2000 cars.

From 2011, old WRC cars ar not allowed anymore.
Old 2,0l N/A S2000 are still allowed, but newly built S2000 cars must have a 1,6l turbocharged engine with a 30mm restrictor.

New WRC cars must be built as an upgrade of these new-gen S2000. World Rally Cars differentiate by a 33mm restrictor and an aerodynamic kit.

Fiesta S2000 #42 is the last one with a 2,0l N/A engine. From now on, M-Sport will only build and sell 1,6l turbocharged Fiesta S2000s. This is what we're talking about.

Concerning World Rally Cars, M-Sport should only build 10 of them for this year. And they are already assigned. Only Ipatec Racing (Kuipers family) will get a customer car by the end of the year.

And Citroën will only build 5 cars. They should also have 1,6l S2000 DS3s as required by homologation, but they will probably never sell them.

thank you Neodyme
je n'avais rien compris dans ces changements

This not about WRC cars, but new generation S2000 cars.

I think this is the current Fiesta RS WRC car with a conversion kit including a 30mm restrictor and aerodynamic modifications. This car shares the same DNA as the Fiesta S2000 rally car but I think it isn't a base S2000 car with only a new 1.6 turbo.
Look at... http://www.m-sport.co.uk/index.php/news ... f-schedule

Am I wrong??? I hope so.

Ford a confirmé à Tsjoen qu’il n’y aura finalement pas de version 1.6T de la Ford Fiesta en configuration S2000

[ne0dyme]

Donc pas de nouvelle Fiesta pour Team Floral?

[stephuy]

Floral n'était ce pas une S2000 "normale" ?

[focus_fan]

C'était pas un point de règlement pour l'homologation du modèle WRC. Je pensais que oui...

[ne0dyme]

Oui, tout comme il est sensé exister une DS3 S2000 1.6T...

L'ex-Fiesta S2000 du Team Floral était une S2000 2.0l atmo, donc "normale".
