The Kia TCR is not a dead project. STARD continues to develop the car...

They've sold how many? 5 maybe?

There's one in Portugal, Zengo had one, one went to the STCC, and another for SE Asia.

I can see why they never did the aero tests; the body shape has now been replaced.

That's right. But maybe that hill climb one could one from Hungary?
Since I never saw that non Zengo KIA races anywhere but that one TCR International event.

Also BoP explains it a little, as Cupra SEQ is 20mm lower, 40kg lighter and can drive full 100% power (comparing to 97,5% of i30), so if it would be faster during BoP test it should have more BoP disadvantage I believe.

I reckon it'll end up a China 'special', in the same way that the Lada was in Russia up until this year.

They managed to get a few wins in WTCC, which shows it wasn’t all in vain

http://www.serbiaring.com/vesti/mile...eno-megan-tcr/

Interview with Milenko Vukovic from Vukovic Motorsport about Megane TCR.

Some insights
-Eric Neve connected Vukovic and Renault Sport
-They had problems with engine builder last year, so now they are building engine by themselves
-Stefano Comini was set to race Renault last year, but there was no money
-Engine is based on Clio 1.6 block, that was enlarged to 1.8.
And then they installed crankshaft from Nissan Sentra.
At the end Turbo is from Mercedes A-Class.

About how GRM choose Renault
And about Bennani, Ehrlacher tested the car.
Also Mulller wanted to test it, but Neve didn't allowed It since Muller have contract with Lynk&Co

I guess it's everything goes. Just don't make car cost over 130.000e
