Nice to see some progress from them, and a car that looks a bit more serious than the first version!

Looks like they are going down a completely different route to VW with only a few months testing etc, but hopefully this effort will work out better than the Accent WRC!

The VW is doing well isnt it? From the bits of Monte carlo I watched seemed rather good for such limited testing as youve said!

It would be nice to see some more names in the WRC, must admit it hinders your viewer pleasure seeing 3 different cars on stages!

Fantastic.

At this stage, who cares about the format/ rules, just get more manufacturers involved.

The accent looked tits.

I'd expect VW to do well.

Which was ridiculous - they didn't even sell a warm version.

does it matter what it looks like?, you don't get points for artistic impression in rallying, that would be drifting.......;)

Depends if you like tits or not, I suppose. I think they're a useful part of the local ecology so I guess it's a good thing.

I always liked the Accent WRC, must've been the Castrol colours.

In reference to the lack of cars on stages, why have Fiat and skoda not been in the WRC in the last few years/year?

Cash im guessing...

Skoda is part of the VAG group and Fiat is skint!

Good point, assumed the skint bit, forgot the VAG bit...

Both concentrated on S2000 cars and the IRC.
