They are already allowed in several national championships, why would they ban them then, after their active-period? :rolleyes:

Can You tell me in which national championship the current WRC cars are eligible to score points?Quote:

But to answer your question, in Estonia and Latvia definitely, can`t find about Norway atm, though Ostberg in 2018 should offer an answer somewhere.
No points for any WRC here, Østberg said he spent his whole vacation trying to be allowed to drive Rally Hedemarken in 2017.Quote:

I bet there are many rich people who think the same...some maybe even want one to sit in the garage...
Also a good donor for RX probably, has also national championships.
I would prefer to stick with technically more precise terms because being alowed in the championship means that you are part of it. If you don't take points you are not part of the championship even if you drive on the same stages in the same time.Quote:

We`ll see.
You could in theory use one in UK national championship https://www.btrdarally.com/wp-conten...-RC-Reg_v2.pdf
Careful - that isn't the UK National Championship. It's a club championship of the British Trials and Rally Drivers Association Ltd. The UK National Champiionship is Brittish Rally Championship which doesn't permit WRC cars, current or obsolete.Quote:
