Would be nice to know the 20 proposals!
And remember - what's best for the Manufacturers isn't always best for the sport. I wouldn't have a problem having R5 as the top class - with maybe more power.
I can't think of too many sports that have changed over the last 10-15 years as much as the WRC. Stop trying to make it something it isn't - RallyCross already exists.
R5 will not take over WRC. FIA and manufacturers/teams want something to differ themselves, the top level of the sport, from the others, and that comes with a price tag... ;)
I think that R5 with higher power could face serious reliability issues and therefore would probably end reasonably more expensive.
Rally NZ.... not looking so good for 2014 which is a shame.. real shame...
Why isn't it looking good for NZ in 2014? Don't tell me they are going to have a 12 round calendar now.
And that, right there, is the biggest issue with the WRC right now. Until privateers can compete with the factory teams we'll have the same 3 or 4 person competition we've had for years. Imagine the competition NORF would have been if R5 was the world formula. There could have been 30 or more competitors in the same spec machinery, a dozen of whom with the speed to challenge for the win.Quote:

Mirek is right, even with all these restrictions of spare parts costs and restrictions of number of serial parts the factory teams will have all the time much more better cars and parts because they can put into it (for example) 50x more than privateer could do.
