WRC Trophy

Honestly that's what I expect.

A short-term solution for those with access to 2016 machinery, a way for M-Sport and PH Sport to make some money and nice to see (hopefully) a few Polos in use. Don't see much future in it personally.

There is a limit to material strength. That which does not bend breaks so as much as you forge a rod, eventually it will break. Material fatigue is also a factor, and the piston rings, bearings etc will also wear faster. I don't remember how many rallies it is the engine has to stay in one piece without being touched but it will affect long term reliability.

yes that's a general rule, but at wrc level don't expect problems something like that at this power/torque level.Even you can buy extra light weight rods for 1000 bhp for less than 1000 euro.

Hopefully it won't go the way of R-GT. 2-3 cars turn up and then the whole thing dies a year later.

If I remember correctly, they need at least 5 drivers to register or this WRC Trophy will be cancelled in 2017.

This Cup will run max 3 years, after that there is enough used WRC17 in market (and also teams can do new ones for customers)

For sure this cup is not going to be very popular but for me every WRC start is important.

Yes, that's correct.

To me this category makes sense for a couple of years. Especially next year '17 cars will be few and the '16 cars would go unused. So it's a compromise during the transition. I'd like to see guys like Al-Attiyah and Henning Solberg take this up and race Prokop and Bertelli for example. Would make a nice mini series for a couple of years.

What if Ogier comes in a team with Al Attyah in a 16 Polo. Will he match a 17 WRC?

[Mirek]

Such thing won't anyway happen.

[Andre Oliveira]

Ogier in M-Sport is 99%

Ogier in M-Sport is 99%

In fans wishes, but in reality I doubt.
