Apparently teams run by Prokop and Al-Atiya (plus sponsors) both tried to put together the money to run the Polo's in 2017.
They failed and that is why they cant run. If the money was in place in time VW would've homologated the cars ready to go.
After this failure of finance they were never going to be able to run part-time.
nope. Everyone can build and run a car in WRC. Only one thing you must do: enter to the championship as Manufacture until 1 Jan. So.... 1 January of 2018 is not far away :)Quote:

they'll bring R5. domination is no good for the sport so let them go. the only bad thing is one team lessQuote:
