You know how it's called to take two samples of dozens and make a statement based on those two?Quote:

Maintenance and parts costs are very similar on components like transmission, suspension, brakes, steering and bodyshell. Only engine rebuild costs are considerable higher on RRC versions, because of the different engine specs (T+Di).
Even so, there's no way that the running budget of an RRC could be over 100% more than an S2000. It's probably under 50% more.

The expensive problem in rally is not the part prices, but the manu's will to earnmaximum amount of money. It's only the manu's that can build and construkt a car, and they know the x-button on the calculator....
when you have to buy a car, and all the parts from 1 guy, and he is gready like h..l, there we have the biggest problem in sport. It should been posible to smaller teams to build a car with homologated parts ( 2-3 different options on front/rearaxle, gearbox, centetdiff, dampers and so on), in whatever chassis. Then more involvment from different manu's will follow, when you don't need 200 million euro's to start a campaign.
Of course the testing and development costs, but this should be the recipe for a cheaper pwrc/swrcish/national class. R4t/R5.
That's theory. Ask teams running those cars how much is their average cost per kilometer.Quote:

Is there any news of an R4 version of the Megane RS N4 from Renault Sport?
Currently R4 rules allow only 4WD cars.Quote:
