Cronus Rally -Ford Fiesta R2 - 1st 2018 Canadian Rally Championship 2WD

Hello Everyone,

So after years of running Evo's we have made the switch to something a bit different. With changing to platforms we will have better access to parts and new tech designed for this chassis. First event will be Big white

Followed this on facebook.  I was expecting another EVO to be honest.  This is exciting! 

Why did you guys retire the EVO?  Was it going through too many engines?

We actually sold the EVO it will still be around Canadian Rally. Really were not happy with the support could get for the platform at a open 4WD level. We are hoping to get back to enjoying the events and being competitive which we believe we can do

We better see the "stroke inducing dance to the dutch beats" lightbar on the new steed at BW tech.....

As a huge EVO fan, i'm sad to see Wym abandon that platform but fully understand why he did.

good luck guys. see you in 4 weeks.

Interesting. Was there any specific reasoning between going with the 5 door over the 3 door?

Having space is nice for things like setting up belts. We use the space for spare tires. For someone who had to crawl through a trunk and a roll cage to change a fuel pump on the 2 door sentra.
ser rally car that extra doors are good

On a scale of zero to ten. How much left foot braking would you have to use?

Big white Rally recap.

3rd regional 2wd and 4th in 2wd. Great way to start with the new car

Car ran really well and was consistent got to work with Team Oneil and their Fiesta program to get all the details on the cars and what we got ourselves into. Event had some snow some Ice and even some gravel.

Excited for the next event and some more modifications to the car to make it more Cronus approved

Well done on your first outing!
