I think the WRC can have a face lift homologation by an ET homologation with no need of a new WRC homologation.

ET is for the base car. It need to be WR page for competition use if you like to change the look of WRC car.

I know that a WR homologation is also needed but it sounds crazy that with some small body shell modifications to the standard car, a new WR homologation would be needed if all the WRC kit parts remain the same. What’s the point then with an ET homologation?

Not so much anymore, but previous Gp A/N cars needed them.

Remember how so many made it very clear that S2000 was a category that will become the top category in rallying, yet it didn't and now has been frozen.
We will just have to see how things pan out in 2014 and wait to hear what the FIA announce about the whole situation.
Having a mix of categories at the top of rallying, like WRC, RRC, S2000 has not worked with all the WRC for works teams, RRC for this championships, and S2000 for that etc.
Wealthy privateers are done with all this, the whole sport needs one top category with very strict controls on the modifications to the top category to keep costs from going out of control.Nav
