Have you ever seen any comment or even suggestion, anywhere, by any manufacturer currently in or out of the WRC, that the WRC becoming a European Championship would encourage them to join or remain in the Championship?
Good point very badly made. You've been vague, evasive and yet continually contrary throughout this exchange. Your 'suggestion' was lost in your initial spurious argument.

Its only a no brainer if you don't bother using your brain - its overly simplistic short term thinking, ignoring the longer term consequences of cutting costs but reducing value and appeal. Cutting costs is a good thing in principle, but it depends very much on how its done.
Did participation drop because of higher costs when the more expensive 2017 generation WRC cars were announced? No, because they saw the value that faster, more aggressive cars could bring by creating a more exciting spectacle for viewers.
Making the whole championship use R2 class cars would reduce costs, but that doesn't mean it would increase the appeal and profile of the series or boost long-term participation.
If you're going to accuse people of those things then its better to provide examples... otherwise it looks like you're just resorting to insults because you don't have anything useful to say.

Jean Todt this weekend is visiting Latvia to attend World Rallycross Championship leg in Latvia. According to Latvian ASN press release - "...this visit is great opportunity to raise a question about of the possibility to host the World Rally Championship in Latvia".

Well, i doubt that. Latvia could balance that a bit with a lot cheaper alcohol, a bit cheaper fuel and food, but accomodation in summer time+ a guaranteed amount of visiters will double the prices, which aren`t really cheap anyway (you can find good offers, but they`ll probably be booked a year before).
