Rally 3 class

[Damian Baldi]

The R3 class overlaps with the R4. I don't know what the FIA plans was, but it doesn't look good. The R4 is too expensive, too close to the R5 in performance, and puts the Maxy Rally, N5 and AP4 out of competition. The idea to have an unique provider in Europe to the entire world is plain wrong just because not all the world is the same, and it goes directly against the local teams/tuners.

The R3 should be different than the R4 idea. It should be a set of rules, with maybe some common components and that's all, then the teams and tuners should make the rest. The real need today is to fil the gap between FWD cars and the MR, N5, AP4, R4 car.

I think FIA should hear the teams and drivers on the lower categories, because what they are looking for now is a 4WD car cheaper and slower than the R4, MR, N5 or AP5.
