I got a few snaps of this car or possibly it’s sibling at the festival of speed back in 2007. Also got many other good pics including McRaes last appearance on the rally stage in an Impreza wrc.
Then my wife lent the camera to a friend that subsequently wiped all the photos on the camera before I had uploaded them to the laptop!

I had completely forgot about this thread so best do some updating. I was going to share some info on this funky little C2R2 from August but upon checking the reg on eWRC results it must be a recent build or purchase has the reg shows previously on the owners Evo. It did take part in Rali Ceredigion soon after testing but did not finish due to electrical failure....so very French. these cars were built by Citroen and powered by a 1600 capable of 185bhp with 5 speed sequential gearbox. Not too shabby at around 1000kg's. We also had a stunning little Mk1 Fiesta test back in August that had been imported over from France. The crew had previously competed in sprints/hill climbs and were taking an initial leap into historic rallying. A brief reminder of how stunning this stage is even in winter December 29th was our last test day of the 2022 season where we had WPi Motorsport and friends pop up for testing. Sadly the Mk2 arrived with charging problems and despite being in homeland of rallying, because it was the Christmas break we couldn't source a fresh alternator so he could test. Having previously raced on the circuits in British GT in a Huracan, The driver of the brand new M Sport Ford Fiesta R5 had reportedly had a GT budget of £1million per year, so he should get on alright with that budget in R5. He took to the rally car like duck to water and looked to be on pace with other top R5 boys already.
