    Didn’t hear Tänak, Neuville and Oliver sayin that during the season….
    Towards the end the car was competitive in Tänak and Neuvilles hands, when they were winning rallys they didn't complain to much. Clearly the development work payed off.

    It’s not so much the extent of it but the fact they come with 16 different designs of wing mirror in one year (I exaggerate for effect, but still..)

    yes, but still they have way fewer things to play with than the previous spec. don't think 16 wing mirror is more expensive than 16 combinations of winglets on a front bumper...

    anyway, it's the same as forever. who has money will find the way to spend it, even on a rally5.

    Your last part is spot on, no matter what price caps, regulations etc they put on. They who have money will always find a way to spend it

    Whatever parts are allowed on a car can be tweaked as much as you like. But there are fewer such aero parts permitted now on the hybrid cars to save costs both in development and in repairs.
