If the only reason the cars/parts are insane expensive is to please the manu, then the wrc is dead. I cant se a crisis if the two-2- manus left, if we get 4-5 brands and 10 teams instead. Why not? Everything is better than todays, atleast last years, situation. Its a joke to call it anything with world. Much better with "amateurs" with real chances to win in a real and open championchip!Quote:
