Proton does things exactly like a British carmaker ie MG Rover, Austin and Jaguar ...like eventho thier cars may not be as reliable as the Competitor but when it goes racing it just wins ...like when the R5 Iriz first outing at the Goodwood Forest Rally ...it won first place which shocked everyone there ...

R5 refers to a category of rally car that is specified by the world motorsports body, the FIA who draws up all the rules, technical and safety specifications. It is the 2nd tier within the World Rally hierarchy with the WRCar category regarded as the Formula 1 of rally cars. R5 replaces the S2000 category rally car. (you guys already featured the Satria Neo S2000). To qualify for R5, a car manufacturer (FIA only recognises car manufacturers) must be involved in a Homologation process with the FIA which goes into the technical details of the car, in this case, the Iriz (must have 25, 000 production minimum) which then leads up to the actual R5 rally car. Once completed and certified, the IRiz R5 can compete in any FIA sanctioned around the world that has an R5 rally category. This ensures a best possible level playing field and adherence to the rules and technical specifications. So in theory, all R5 cars from manufacturers like Hyundai, Ford, Citroen, VW, Skoda, Proton and so on are more or less, equal in performance for fairness.

Wow the Proton Iriz R5 MEM rally car yes this was in Wales ... the car is powered by a chopped Mitsu Evo 2L that was rebuilt to 1.6L as per relegation in British Rally Championship

[marCast]

Mellors Elliot Motorsport began developing the Iriz R5 rally car in 2016, and it is powered by a 4B11T engine from the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution, albeit in reduced capacity from 2.0 litres to 1.6 litres to comply with R5 rally regulations. Also in order to comply with R5 regulations is the fitment of a 32 mm intake restrictor, which limits outputs to around 350 hp and 450 Nm of torque.
The R5 category rally cars are versatile too, as they are also eligible for the European Rally Championship (ERC) and WRC qualifying rounds such as the British Rally Championship (BRC). R5-specification cars may also compete in the Asia Pacific Rally Championship (APRC) in the AP4 category.

My brother used to take this car instead taking sedans...probably this handling is very good even factory stock set up only...

[brostugen]

Race spec 4B11T Evo 10 reduced to 1.6cc, MEM chose this engine because the exhaust manifold is facing rearwards (firewall) and creates a shorter exhaust system. as compared to the existing campro.

[aimanikmal]

The Proton Iriz R5 uses Proton Inspira's (Rebadged Mitsubishi Lancer GT) engine (Mitsubishi 4B11) and was tuned. It's not an EvoX engine technically.

[jazewave]

Rally is like driving to the limits with a powerful engine hatchback at the public roads full of spectators. It's like time attack but on gravel or muds.

[toomasargel]

09:08 max speed 240km/h but on 90 degrees L corners ca 80-100 S curves ca 120-140 km/h

[puteraslayer]
