    Last season Evans always got just one test day in the 3rd Fiesta.

    I think i read somewhere that the old WRC costs around 500euro pr km if you count in everything so it's not cheap doing a 300km test day, although i guess they run the parts longer on the test car.

    I don't think so, because teams have only 52(?) test days in season.

    So you are saying that a test day would cost 150,000 euros?!? seems a bit out of proportion

    Competition km`s for a privateer maybe? There`s a huge difference in the level of maintenance, who is doing it etc.
    But nothing new imo, as the days are limited. I believe that last year 3. car/ DMack car also got less mileage on PET.

    I think you've read a bad joke somewhere... I've heard for the later generation of 2L WRC cars it was around 200 euros/km. Sure it hasn't doubled for the first-gen 1.6T WRC cars, as they're less complicated.

    Depends whether You count running cost or rental cost. Afaik running cost of R5/S2000 cars used to be around 100 Eur/km when everything was as it shall be so that I believe that it had to be more than 200 Eur/km for WRC cars considering for example the price of engine revision which was roughly 3-4x more for Fiesta WRC (2012) than for Fabia S2000 or the gearbox which had 3x shorter rebuild period.
