The more the merrier - only problem is the possibility of the dreaded BoP for GT cars...... :laugh:
I found this article in Spanish, which talks about rumours about FIA wanting to stage an RGT world cup next season, to be run on selected ERC and WRC events.

Does anybody know more about this? Would of course be very exciting. On the other hand, so far we had only 1 RGT competitor this season.
There's too many international rally competitions in Europe. WRC and ERC can't do so many races there. There's too many classes and too few entries each.
If a driver does a European or World championship, they won't do it on an R2, it ridiculous. And spectators won't care about them either, they want to see powerful cars.
The Porsche 911 Cup could work. But who on earth thinks that a GT3 is cheap to do rallying?
An RGT Porsche is entered for Rally Finland:
#81 Jani Ylipahkala in a 997 GT3.

Would be very spectacular, if it is actually going to happen!
Which tyres are they going to use? I remember only one case when modern Porsche was used for gravel rally. It was Matthias Kahle who used it in German Lausitz rally few years back. He drove all the rally on stock winter tyres!
