Hi, friends!

As I wrote many times this year, Volkswagen Rally Team is testing their newest rally car Polo R5 ahead of the start of FIA homologation process.

They choose rough gravel terrain of France for a test of the gravel suspension.

I still don't have the info of the suspension maker but I guess it will be Ohlins or Reiger.

Here we have the photo from the test where we can see complete rear axle gone from the car.

This should be fixed good before the homologation process start next month.

For 300 000€, which should be the price of the car, it has to be prepared for the toughest rally roads on the planet and it should finish the rallies on top...

VW Polo R5 should be homologated just before the Catalunya Rally and it's a mixed event with the both surfaces - tarmac and gravel.
