I have one question though... If WRC will be based on current groupN and S2000 cars then what will PWRC and JWRC have? Bicycles? Isn't the whole point of WRC to be rally at its highest level (considering both cars and drivers). Something that group B used to be where drivers demanded less power as it was too scary to drive with 500+hp. That really showed what the guys were made of. Currently drivers like Wilslow manage to nurse the car home and get Championship Points. He would wet his pants if he had to do Ouninpohja with a groupB rally car.
There does not need to be any PWRC or JWRC that no one cares about.
No one outside of rallying know about these categories.
WRC will just become R1, R2, R3, R4 rally cars.
Well this is what I am trying to say... there is no point for such classes as R1, R2 and even R3 to exist in WRC. The guys that drive a Twingo R1 should run national or regional championships. Whats the point of a cheap car if it costs you a fortune to drag it to WRC events.
And no one cares because there is not much to watch in WRC. I consider myself to be a mediocre rally fan. I run a fan club for one of the local drivers. But I do not find anything spectacular about going to a WRC event these days. If I want to see group N or S2000 cars I can see plenty at Estonian national championships. What I would like to see is something special when I go watch a World Championship event. Just like Formula1. I could watch guys compete with Formula Renault in the national championship and it is great fun, but F1 is something spectacular. Yes, there are few amazing drivers currently in WRC and I still aim to watch as many different rallies as possible. But If the worlds best drivers drive cars that are not entertaining to watch there is no way that the audience numbers would rise.
I totally disagree. Look at IRC: local drivers can compete with top drivers in their home event. With your system (which is almost the current in WRC) only rich boys can take their chance to compete in WRC. Still complaining there is so less competition in WRC?Quote:

Lets wait till the official news come out from the FIA. Rallying could even move to just 2WD.
Who knows?
