Uh, what now? A Megane RallyX car? This should be exciting.

Yes please! Though I’m not so sure about Chicherit in WorldRX, his previous tries in the JRM Mini where not really promissing, could be the car’s fault though.

Me neither, but the JRM Mini never really achieved anything.

Also there will be a second driver..

True, the only one sort of being able to drive competitively with the JRM Mini was Doran, but we all know how that ended.

I’m curious to who the second driver will be, since Renault doesn’t really have a large amount of active former rally or touring car drivers affiliated with the brand just hanging around, so no obvious names pop to mind.

I think they will use a driver that is already competing in rallycross. Reinis Nitiss, Andreas Bakkerud and Topi Heikkinen is associated with Renault through their academy in Finland, and I could see especially Nitiss join such a team.

It is Prodrive so... Solberg? Maybe steal Chris Atkinson from SRT USA?

The biggest downside to the JRM mini was that it had the 1.6 engine IIRC, I doubt the weight difference they were afforded made enough of a difference
