The story
The Proton Iriz R5 is a R5 rally car built by Mellors Elliot Motorsport in the UK under license from Proton. It is based upon the Proton Iriz road car. The car marked the comeback of the British Rally Championship for Proton. In 2022, the rally car was succeeded by the Proton Iriz RX (Rallycross), which was built specifically for Team RX Racing and Ollie O'Donovan.
