Just out of curiosity - is the points system in WRC, F1 & WRX the same? And did you notice that in WRC 1st and 2nd place has difference of 0 points??? It's getting too funny now, I must quit replying and continue to read this comical thread....

It's developed by Petter and FX. FX was head on previous cars Petters excelled in, like the 2003 Subaru Impreza WRC. Perfect match it seems.
No one is downplaying anything. It's just a fact that Petters team seems to have an advantage over the others at the time, even though their team backing is less than Audi and Peugeot. Good work by PSRX.
As for dominance, sure, right now Petters cars are the ones to beat. Just like Audi had an edge the first three races this year. Or how Ford is the only team to have scored a perfect weekend (though Petters been there except for a P2 in Q4). Ford seemed pretty dominant then, so it varies.
I'm sure the others will catch up to Petter eventually.

I never said either was quicker, my posts were about where the money was coming from.
That's true, privateers are fighting for scraps...but that's to be expected because it's motorsport and that's how it works. No different in the WRC. I still find it surprising that someone like Wilks (who got the 1600 Mini to a final) is in a car that fought for the championship last year and he can't even get it to a semi. I suspect that what we're going to see is the main teams that have an inkling of manufacture support (Ford, VW, Audi, Peugeot) continue to move away from the others. Subsequently the 'privateer' entries will move to EuroRX instead, with the exception of a few hardy souls who think it's worth the money (like Al Qassimi in WRC).
And then all the manufacturers will go electric and drivers will come back to the top level of combustion engine stuff, such is the cycle of top level motorsport.You're so beige, you probably think this signature is about someone else.

Where the heck did I write that the VW's are not the best cars atm?
Where did I downplay VW knowledge?
What I am trying to say is that it is not a factory backed team. VW is not in RX as a factory. VW does not cover any expenses for personnel at the events. They are not covering expenses for running the cars. They are not covering expenses for shipping the cars. If the Solberg - VW Sweden team don't pay, the cars will either stay unused, or someone else will pay for it.
Is is not a factory backed team. The Solberg - VW Sweden hire the VW Motorsport crew themselves, and the cars, and everything.

More finances for VW-PSRX than for Peugeot and Audi. That's it. But, it's surprising that Kristoffersson is better than Petter this year.
I'm a bit sad for Petter. Maybe next year will be more competitive between M-Sport/FP, Audi, Peugeot & VW. I hope...
Impressive morning from Evans and Ogier tho.. Let's see if some rain would come in the Afternoon, some clouds ale rising here
