Title: Group 2 and Gp 5
Post by RedRocket on 11/21/11 at 17:20:05

Can someone tell me the basic difference between a Gp 2 and a Gp 5 car? Reason I ask is 1 of the new Fiesta R2's is listed as Gp 5 while the other 3 are Gp 2.

Basically it boils down to naturally aspirated vs turbo/supercharged, but Group 2 also has a displacement limit that if you exceed it pushes you into G5 (so a V8 naturally aspirated would be a G5 car for example).

One of the Fiesta's is turbocharged.

I also thought there was a restriction on sequential trannies in gr2 but not in gr5
