    Being the fastest.

    Simple as that because this is what it's all about.

    This is pointless discussion, but anyway, so the current WRC cars can't be faster with let's say - unrestricted engine?!?

    It's about being the fastest rally class of the existing classes, not the fastest possible car imaginable. Even group B had some limitations.

    I would also add to the philosophy that on the outside you have the recognizable family car, on the inside a purpose-built rally car (at least in the case of 205 T16 and Delta S4, maybe not so with 037 and Sport Quattro)

    Sorry but this is like talking to a wall.

    Current WRC cars are the fastest what can be built within the existing environment in time (the rules are part of that). The Gr.B was the very same thing 35 years a go.

    That explains why I liked Group A. Leave the bleeding edge on the circuit and go with the battered edge just above production. I grew up cheering for Hondas because we had two in the driveway and they were great cars, not because Mansell, Prost and Senna were great drivers.

    Exactly, Current rules don't allow GT class to produce faster cars. End of discussion from me.

    ... and again you didn't understand a thing. Oh, well...

    You don't need to answer, just think about what rules you need to make the GTs win Ouninpohja. Maybe you'll finally realize that it's not the rules what makes GTs wrong tool for that.

    I still don't understand some of you each time there is an activity on this thread to jump in a whine how bad GT class is for rally. They aren't the best rally cars you can get, SO WHAT? I'll become R1/R3 class fan or something? R1/R3 are good for rally, no?

    It's you who ignore how the discussion started and who jumped in with ridiculous arguments against a completely relevant topic "why shall any GT brand become involved in rallying".

    The point is that there is no rational reason to do that. And that has nothing to do with your passion or whomever. The reality is not powered by nostalgia or dreams but by success and money. It doesn't help anything to live in some parallel world.
