"DirtFish understands the one-liter engine option from Toyota wasn’t capable of challenging the 210bhp required for a frontrunning Rally3 machine, hence the shift to a 1.6 motor."
But are there any drawbacks in having a 3 cylinder engine?
fewer valves,Quote:

also less friction at movement parts,and very near to the ''ideal'' 500cc for each cylinder.
Also less length of engine.
One difference
Maximum valve lift :
• 11 mm for a 4-cylinder engine
• 13 mm for a 3-cylinder engine
The cam lift must be homologated in VRa2.
The number and diameter of the bearings must be retained.
‘’VVT’’ and “VALVETRONIC” etc. type systems are authorised if original. They may be rendered inoperative.
Check article 261 to see if you can spot other differences:

Also generally speaking a engine with more displacement per cylinder is more suitable to regulations with a small restrictor right?
Imho i dont see any advantage.If you could explain will be usefull.Quote:
