No its not fair to participate at wrc level, while you are the biggest manufacture ,without spending any money.
They are, but doesn't mean they are always fair. Citroen had limited program, VW wants the same this year, I don't see a difference in "fairness".Quote:

I don't know what's still here to discuss. Rules don't allow homologation of a wrc car without factory team commitment unless all teams agree to grant an exception. That obviously didn't happen. End of the story.
Besides that I am quite sure that the exception would be granted if there was a meaningful program with strong private team, i.e. Jipocar (if Prokop tells the truth). Some 2-3 events with one car is obviously not the case.
Of course not, that's not comparable at all.Quote:
