DS3

the DS3 looks nice
not a fan of the mini and the fiesta just looks the same as 2 rallycross cars we(dhl) shipped to the states a few months ago

The BINI looks about as ugly as expected.

It looks like its been magnetised and driven through Halfrauds

Quite like the DS3 actually, it's a shame WRC cars aren't as awesome as they used to be though.

That Fez looks well!

Red Bull livery is epic as always.

Not bad, but such a shame the cars are just a shadow of the rally cars of old

do red bull sponsor something in every sport? their colour scheme looks crap.

like the mini apart from the wing that looks upside down.

Pretty Much

We've got:

Red Bull X Fighters (Moto Cross)
Red Bull Air Race (Planes)
Red Bull Cliff Diving
Red Bull Crushed Ice (More here
New York Red Bulls (football team)
Torro Rosso / RBR (F1)
Red Bull Salzburg (Football)
RED BULL OFF-ROAD BARLOW MOTORSPORTS (CORR series in the US)
EC Red Bull Salzburg (Ice Hockey)
Red Bull Kiteforce team

then you've got all the individual athletes they sponsor. Such as Freddy Flintoff, and even a Halo "Pro Gamer" called Walshy who competes in the american MLG.

So yes, every sport then

Rallying just goes more and more backwards every year. 15 years ago these kind of cars would be fighting it out in the F2 kit cars let alone the wrc.

*list*

That list is the redbull teams but they sponsor people too Cars are what I mainly know but I am thinking some of the Porsceh 911 cars had red bull livery, mad mikes drift cars, paris dakar rally team (think it was a toureg) etc etc.

On topic: Mini looks horrific in my opinion and what is with that spoiler? The DS3 looks good though. Could the new cars bring the reign of Loeb to an end? I doubt it but hopefully they can create a abit more competition.

It really is a sad state of affairs.

We've gone from crazy Group 4, to MORE crazy Group B, to less crazy but still crazy enough Group A, to getting a bit more boring now WRC, to wow this car is pretty dull Super2000 (or whatever the final name for the 2011 spec is)

Why are all the manufacturers going with smaller cars?
Marketing purposes?

Other way round isn't it, FIA switching to S2000 spec to save money for the teams?

You have to blame the manufacturers for not getting behind it...

So forcing them to design new cars saves money, strange.
