But wasn't that the same idea for S2000 cars and for RRC cars as well? No one stuck to the fixed price.

Even for current WRC cars there are limits of prices, even for particular components...

The R5 cars will just become like the current WRC's. They will look no different and speed wise be the same to the spectator.
They will become as expensive as the current WRC's and the biggest problem will be no self build possible from a road car. ie you can only buy from the manufacturers approved motorsport company if it is not the manufacturer themselves.
What the FIA need to do is bring the top end cars to road car bodywork and driven wheels. That will take a chunk out of the cost of the cars for starters.Nav

I don't believe R5 will become as expensive as the Current WRC's, at least if FIA keeps the rules they made now. Talking about time before revision etc. For S2000 they started making engines that lasted just one rally... Also there are more manufacturers I think (Ford, Peugeot, Skoda, Citroën, Opel, any others?), so there should be some competition, not just to have the fastest car, but also to sell some number (and keep the price on a realistic number) of cars.

I just look at homologation by FIA, and see a new thing on engine for the Corsa S2000...
whereas nothing was homologated on the car since 2009.
Why, and what could be it ?

Yesterday Chris Ingram posted he was doing a shakedown of the Polo R5 so it seems he's continuing in that car for the Jim Clark. https://www.instagram.com/reel/C7OEfYKoYV1/?igsh=czZzYzB1dm9zeHd4 ...
