finally they understood that these cars are useless for rallying.

For sure it’s a tinny program regarding FCA’s scale, and probably Mr. Marchionne doesn’t care about it, still it doesn’t make sense to call Abarth RGT program as a private one.
Even if it‘s developed by a small team inside FCA’s smallest brand, it’s still an official motorsport program. That’s why it was launched on Geneva motor show and it’s been announced by FCA all around Europe, on the press and inside their large commercial network.
Above all, it’s a nice return to rallysport from an Italian brand and we can only wish it’ll be the spark to get FCA into WRC on a near future!
The first entry list for Monte Carlo (https://www.rallye-magazin.de/filead...dez/mc2017.pdf) has 3 Abarth 124s, one of them driven by Delecour. Maybe the R-GT Cup will be a thing again in 2017. Nice!
How does it look like?
Nice to see 3 Abarth's 124 on MC list: Delecour, Noberasco and Betti.
IMHO Abarth 124 could be a good car for one-make cups but otherwise I don't expect anything ground braking from it.
