    Million dollar rallycars were going nowhere, very fast. Something needed to be done, quickly. Personally, making Rally 2 the top category with no spec changes would have been fine. I understand why...

    Think the whole point is to equalize Rally 1 and Rally 2 cars in a similar fashion to what ACO and IMSA do with LeMans Hypercars (LMH) and LeMans Daytona hybrid (LMDh).

    Katsuta can very really win this. He needs to maintain or grow his gap to Lappi first, though. Fourmaux is somehow 3rd on the road now and won't trouble them much. Neuville has no chance. Evans has a...

    Bring back roadside repairs, go to Rally 2s, give each rally its character back, allow private firms to build cars were my comments in a nutshell.

    Carbon is definitely part of the high costs. Rally cars lose bits everywhere and carbon bits cannot be repaired on the cheap like plastic or metal ones.

    Exactly. Kale and Tanak are only here because Hari and Markko Martin were able to rent a top class car and prove themselves. And that's only a recent example.

    It definitely is. You need privateers/young talents/local stars to be able to take the big guys. It has been a staple of WRC for decades. Losing it, is hurting the sport big time.

    True, but you absolutely need to give them a chance. They have no chance now and that has been the case since 2017 with a few exceptions (Loubet 2021 and Ostberg 2017).

    Think it's important to note that LMDh is essentially a single make from private developers like Oreca, Ligier, Dallara and Michelotto with nearly spec chassis and a spec Hybrid unit.

    Amazing that Stellantis have made a sensible decision for once. The car is there already (Citroen C3). Change the panels and milk Lancia's legacy.

    David Richards couldn't promote WRC efficiently when it was arguably at its highest point in terms of driver talent/fame and manufacturer interest. What can he do now? Questionable at best.

    Neuville was out of a drive after 2012. Citroen only offered him a limited program and it took Al Attiyah paying a full program for him in a 4th Fiesta to save his career.
