Please note that S2000 refers to Super 2000 (as in 2 liter N/A). This car is not that. It is a 1.6 liter turbocharged car. So please don't put S2000 at the end of the name, put WRC.

@DZoneTV

This is not the WRC version of the Mini.

[DZoneTV]

@GioRallyReport - It can't be Super 2000 either.

[GioRallyReport]

@DZoneTV

it's gone :)

[DZoneTV]

@GioRallyReport - I'll give you points for that.

[MCgraveMousti]

@DZoneTV Gio is not completely wrong though :D in FIA regulations it states also as a Super 2000 something I really hate because everyone says it's S2000 but it's not. It's 1.6 plus it has a Turbo! Now people also think it's funny that Focus WRC 05 passed Snijers at the zoning although it's clearly that the Old WRC has more power and speed :)

[DZoneTV]

@MCgraveMousti - If you look at the Fiesta RRC (which is derivative of the Fiesta WRC with a few minor changes), the Mini that Gio says isn't a WRC version would fall under the RRC's category. If I recall correctly, the Fiesta RRC and the Mini whateveritis have bigger restrictors, but still retain the 1.6 liter turbo engine.

[MCgraveMousti]

@DZoneTV Yeah but in regulations of the Fia it also states as a S2000 what's indeed not correct but like many already know, nobody can follow the logic of the FIA. I like to call it more a S1.6t then a RRC but both are correct. It seems also that the Mini S1.6t is better than the Fiesta S1.6t Solowow wasn't very happy with it and has stopped driving with it.

[DZoneTV]

@MCgraveMousti - My guess is that the Mini with the bigger restrictor is set to run with the N/A Super 2000 rally cars. Not sure of anyone purchasing a Fiesta RRC yet though.

[MCgraveMousti]

@DZoneTV A Mini with bigger restrictor is the Mini JCW WRC like Sordo drive with and Snijers drove with it this weekend. The Fiesta s1.6t or RRC has been bought by Solowow the only one yet. I think many reporters and organisations publis it faulty by the Fia Regulations. Fia already did bad with killing the S2000's

@GioRallyReport then its the super production(class 1) version designed to slot between wrc's and s2000(class 2)
