Super 2000

[DanJR1]

What manufacteurers are making them? and how likely is it the the FIA is going to introduce them as the top class?

[EVO1X]

Do you mean super 2000 rally cars or RRS rallycross class?

[edoncke]

constructors ho are planning or testing a s2000 rallycar

for sure:

renault (would be a dacia logan,i dont know if you know this car but its a cheap renault)

lada (i've already seen pictures of this one and it is.... not so very buitiful...)

volkswagen polo (is already existing in south africa)

fiat punto (has already won his first rally)

mayby:

peugeot (pictures of a future peugeot 207 s2000 on peugeot.com)

There is a Toyota Corolla already in South Africa and in Australia, both Toyota and Ford are planning to build new S2000 cars.

Mitsubishi have spoken about it in Australia also.

And the FIA will not introduce them as the top class.

From my understanding S2000 was drawn up to bring manufacturers into the sport (those that don't have 2L turbo four wheel drive cars in the range) but preformance of S2000 is only on a par with exsisting Group N(4) cars.

The S2000 (Rally) regs stipulate that the cars have to be sold a a fixed price (I can't remember excactly) and have some 'spec' parts (gearbox plus some others that I can't remember)
The gearbox in question has prooven to be unreliable in the Punto so far.

FIAT are campaigning 2 Puntos in the Italian Rally Championship and from my recollection after 2 rounds one has been won by a S2000 (the Punto) and the other by a Group N(4)

Hope that helps to clarify the situation

i think the italian driver basso is doing the full europeean rally championchip in a punto s2000

in belgium there is a volkswagen tuner who is preparing a polo s2000 for rally rental
