for a manufacture that is loyal to wrc for more than 10 years,for an already homologated car,to continue their programm for plenty years more.
Tottaly different situation from vw.
Vw could easily spent the millions to homologate the car,and wouldn't be any problem for a team with enough foundings to participate.
but they wanted to homologate the 2017 car with foundings from some team/driver like Mikkelsen etc.
No its not fair to participate at wrc level, while you are the biggest manufacture ,without spending any money.

I don't know what's still here to discuss. Rules don't allow homologation of a wrc car without factory team commitment unless all teams agree to grant an exception. That obviously didn't happen. End of the story.
Besides that I am quite sure that the exception would be granted if there was a meaningful program with strong private team, i.e. Jipocar (if Prokop tells the truth). Some 2-3 events with one car is obviously not the case.

Almost all Finn's since Paavo Nurmi who are fast in their sport have been called "Flying", particularly the 1960's rally drivers, but I was actually thinking of "Flying Finnish" - the timing line at...
