    We've discussed R5 for WRC in different threads before. We always came to the conclusion that most of us here hate the idea. Let's leave it at that.

    Let's be realistic. Who would do an ERC campaign in some locally homologated car which is not competitive against the R5? I'm willing to bet that nobody. Maybe in the first year one or two crews could appear but in the second year there would be nobody.

    Not participating in same class of course. But get young guns from each organizer country to maybe shine. And maybe get the eyes from Mr teambosses. Makes talent not money be the factor. Or more of.
    Try to have helicopter perspective, Mirek. Be positive.

    To prove You have talent You can do JERC. It's cheaper than any 4WD car and it actually works as a good competition and a functional ladder up.

    ERC2 with gr.N car is also cheap to do. Likely cheaper than what You propose but there has been something like 3 regulars in last couple of seasons. This is really not the way.

    Oh yes, the first Finnish news only mentioned them, but yes, that's quite a team.

    Earlier there was a crazy rumor of Kopecky going to Hyundai, but surely it sounded weird...hard to imagine him on any other brand (I know he's driven other cars years ago)
