Getting cold feet already?

Maybe they've know something about future rules that we don't?

Again, Colin Clark:

"@voiceofrally: @Andrew_Coley What was suggested to me this morning was that WRC could well be going R5 in a couple of years! Can see a lot of sense in that"

I strongly hope not or the R5 price will grow sky high...

Mirek they are already sky high

They are still way lower than of WRC cars so there is a lot of potential to grow...

Don't forget Fiesta WRC costs almost half million Euro and it's running cost is triple to naturally aspirated S2000.

This has imo been the writing on the wall for some time. WRC will die in 14 or 15.
What are the odds in the betting firms for this scenario as of today?

They will be lower at start Mirek.Wait to see what will happen after a year or so when 3-4 manufacturers will sell ''upgrade'' r5 cars.Turbo-4wd-special parts for almost whole body= expensive.
Expect to be much more expensive than s2ooo naturally aspirated cars,and cant see where is the cheap solution they find.

I think this says it all about this project..
