I hope that manufacturers will be allowed to homologate the new S1600Ts without having to sign up for the WRC, otherwise the FIA have just done the sport of rallying in general a great disservice.

So it’ll be S2000/1.6T…finally after almost 3 years FIA decide it!
Sure there are still some doubts – level of 1.6T engine tuning, existence of aerodynamic package, etc – but setting a definitive guideline it’s crucial in order to attract new manufacturers.
Expanding S2000/1.6T category to all rally international series can also be a major step into WRC and IRC complementary, witch seems to be a newly FIA concern and somehow could be linked with the 2011 calendar presentation delay.
Rally future will only get damage from the ISC/Eurosport rivalry, so it’s more than time to establish the necessary adjustments in order to have both organizers working together on one strong international rally series.Rally addict since 1982

They definately have to rename the cars then. A 1.6 Liter-Turbo is no Super 2000 anymore.
