In gravel counties yes, in asphalt ones there is nothing left to be replaced. Even here where we once used to have around 50 Evos per event we have a handful maximum now.
There is no point talking about some imaginery miracle supercheap fast cars which don't exist.
For someone who raced in an Evo for the past 5 years, it's starting to get very difficult to get material for the cars, especially differentials and racing gearboxes. You can still find them around, but the price is very high. Also, most of the cars already had a big crash in their lifespan and you can only mend 15 years of materials to a certain extent.
100 000 euros of 2001 is about 130 000 euros of 2020.
Also remember that S1600 cars were FWD.
As many of you have mentioned, will be interesting to see how the Rally3 cars will perform on tarmac. In last year's Tour de Corse the fastest JWRC driver was around 3-4 s/km behind the fastest RC2 driver.
