    Agree with you, that trophy is a farce.
    no it's not, especially in the 1st year. The alternative is having '16 cars be useless. So for the first year i think it's actually a good compromise.

    ...but don't all WRC cars become "useless" at some point after regulations change? There was no special trophy for the 2litre cars. The S1600s died out when R3 was introduced.

    2Litre, S1600 and all others are different story, WRC(ar) is only for WRC(hampionship), while others are (was) still usefull in ERC, ERT, IRC, different regional and national championships. FIA don't want WRC(ar) to let compete them in national and regional series, so what to do with these machines? Museum or privateers trophy...

    There is a big difference with the transition between 2.0 and 1.6 WRCs: The old 2.0 WRCs were (feared to be) faster than the 1.6WRCs. Now that isn't the case so they can safely allow the old WRC to run, they will not beat the works cars.

    I think the major reason was that 2.0L wrcars were much more expensive than the 1.6 wrcars.i dont think a private driver with a 2.0L car could beat an official car 1.6L car.

    The older privateers need a Championship as they cant win the WRC event.

    They need to say they won the Privateers World Championship to tell sponsors... saying 'I came 10th in the WRC' doesnt get them any kudos.

    And young up-and-coming drivers wont get 2016 WRC's as they cost too much to run. They will stay with R5's.
