i must say they look like they were ready in 1991 judging by the design effort, and just managed to get it to the grid now!! good job the tow-hook is highlighted in red with the arrow as i do think it may be needed....lots! haha

LADA is not a race car, they have not change the model for over twenty years. I drove Ladas, they are crap. This is not realy a Lada it has OPEL engine anyway. Since Lada started as an Opel look alike in 70s the company unfortunately did not continue to borrow the OPEL good looks. LADA needs to get some good designers, cause their designs suck big time.

I dont care if the designs are veyr old...i dont care if they use an Opel Engine...im a big fan of all motorsports and i respect anybody who tries to participate in a race championship. Even if they have trouble due to an inferior budget or inferior car...they still deserve my respect and i wish them all the best of luck. Motorsports always needs fresh faces and new teams even if the teams arent too competitive, everybody has to start somewhere.

Im not saying they should not compete. What im saying is that LADA lacks the ability to compete with the giants of racing like BMW. Lada needs to make better cars period not just for racing. They are so behind the other manufacturers. Maby when Renault takes over part of the company, it will be better for Russian people and Lada.

Well you're probably right, but the best advances for street cars come from racing...even safety features, so this should ultimitely make street LADAs better, as long as LADA sticks with it. Plus they are using a good engine, so LADA can also gleam lessons for their own future engine off of it.

Unfortunately Russians still buy the older styled car and there is no need to improve the designs and quality. The new one if it ever comes out might be too expensive for the regular person to buy there.

I hope they do well, I remember people Giggling at Skodas involvement in world rallying, not to mention the early laughs at toyota in the 70's and subaru in the 80's, not to mention Volvo in the BTCC. I Dont think they'll do much but its great to see another manufacturer trying to get into the GM/VAG/BMW playpen. lets face it if they do, by some miracle, end up doing well the ruling powers will soon change the rules to suit the existing status quo anyway, so good luck to them. P.S. I once drove an Eighties group B Lada VFTS (hotted up Riva) and it was more fun than the group4 escort I'd just been driving, motorsport should be fun even at world level, I hope the drivers have a hoot. RED POWER!!!
