Does the tech level of the 2017 generation car mean that privat teams are history?

- general high tech level, little training for the privat engineers, hard to understand without background info
- more software, where the privateers are not allowed latest version
- suspension and dampers where you will not get latest update, or get to know news/ discoveries from manufacturer
- less testing opportunities if the privateers can afford it
- probably more issues giving the privateer drivers no real chance to compete on level ground, so no more may the best man win!

So this generation cars is the final nail in the coffin for privateers at top level in rally?

Too bad really, and mean that FIA has finally potty trained the bohemian of motorsport.

RallyCross is still a place you can build a winning car in your garage - but for how long.......
