You are of course quite right i'd never dream of taking a restricted WRC car round a track.....
AHMEN TO THAT



and the toyota 'mod' was rumored to give nearer 50horse according to some of the more 'knowledgable' people
"As much as 50bhp" is not the same as 50bhp .
oh come on mike if your gonna try to be clever at least read what i wrote first - i dont recall mentioning Brake horse power

Well your car would be considered A8 (if it was allowed to enter for homologation not beeing vvalid anymore) anyway in any country so doesn't really matter. Well in Poland you cold surely win every single event in historic class, because that's the one in which you would run. Acctually I dream about 3-door in historic class over here :-/

Your competition would be 2 Opel Kadetts and MkII Escort RS2000, maybe some occasional Audi Quattro and Delta Integrale both underfinanced.




The guy who drives RS2000 became national champion though - you could try to get his throphy.

...maybe slightly more. I think latest spec (99?) engine developed something just below 700Nm, but mamory might be failing me Modern WRC cars make even more then 700Nm.
