In swedish stcc/tta, they use a french car, solution-F. Just fit your wished chassis, then race.
Everyone has the same point of stand, the best driver/team winns.
Maybe not interresting for VW, but lots of other teams, like m-sport, prodrive, tmr, bozian, and smaller teams like adapta and weavers would be on it with a small support from a car-manufacturer.Radioreporter @ www.radiomotor.no

Oddly enough since we agree on so much else, I disagree...
You know i work with steel things for 405 years now, light tube constructions and I live here where rally is a very sad joke and Circle track is KING..
And yeah the costs of CIRCLE track tube structures are amazingly cheap---and many are completely done in China now so the price is unusually low---
And the choices of hubs and uprights and links and brakes and all kinds of parts are crazy cheap..
But whole cars are still expensive....and they are extremely crude things..
But mainly it is the strength of the modern type INTEGRATED cage and shell is more than the sum of the strength of the cage and the shell separately...
The cars are enormously stronger and they are much safer that tube thingsJohn Vanlandingham

Of course.. at a cost..
and as Competition boss for Citroen said way back in the Clio days "we complained bitterly when we first had to make Group a cars... Then one of our guys pointed out that we make efforts to make road cars strong and safe, isn't kind of pointless to throw away all that effort? Add to it."John Vanlandingham
