Well if they get the authorisation to run IRC or WRC, I think that they will only run on tarmac events, because on gravel they don't have nothing to do against S2000 or any full wheel drive car

Dude, calm down. Trying to be a smartass? Just wanted to write down my opinion.
IMO those speeds are way to high on rallyroads. Maybe that is the reason declares them as unsafe, that's an assumption.Post your own splits on the net: find RallyStopwatch on the Google Play Store.

GigiGalliNo1: Probably You know absolutely nothing about rally history. Porsche is much more classic rally car then any stupid shopping bag rebuilt to S1600 racing special. What about Lancia Stratos, Lancia 037, Toyota Celica, Opel Manta, Alpine 110, Datsun 240Z or Mazda RX-7? Those were pure sports cars just from their nature. What is beter to race with? To refuse sports car and to race with shopping bags? A bit strange idea, don't You think?

The current Porsches are nothing like the Porsches in the history of rallysport. I can follow somehow gigigalli and don't see a current racecar porsche doing a safari rally. As far as the shopping bags are concerned, well they can do the safari.

Evidently You haven't realized what I was told...
Yes, these days S1600 is great rally car. But it is a great sport tool made by using huge amounth of money from totaly diferent car which only target is low cost and some usefulness in the city. For me it is absolutely crazy to built completely new cars looking like shopping bags instead of using sports cars for making rally cars from them. It is just a marketing nothing to do with sport. Shopping bags and small family hatches are the biggest market but why should they be a reason to prohibit cars built as sports ones from the very first drawing? These days only production cars Subaru and Mitsubishi are not pretended family cars with almost nothing shared with the base model except the shape. Well, don't mind if someone wants to make such illusions but why to prohibid the cars which are built for sport instead? That's what embarrass me...Stupid is as stupid does. Forrest Gump

Personally I have nothing against GT cars in rallying and I have nothing against rally cars on circuits :
