Honestly, it’s hard to understand all this fuss about RGT being able to get more manus. Will it hurt the sport to have Porsche back? Is it better to want Porsche, or any other potencially interested GT brand, out of Rally?
It’s true that Rally is living a positive era but it’s also true that the number of manus currently involved in the sport is quite limited; finding ways, like RGT or R4, to help bringing more manus to Rally should be seen as a positive contribution to the sport, not as a menace or a waste.
Rally is mainly about passion and if a bunch of rally passioned people inside Abarth or Porsche (or hopefully Alpine) manage to convince their bosses to get a RGT program we all should be grateful and praise their efforts, even knowing their cars will barely win a rally overall.Rally addict since 1982

What\s yOUR personal (and dIMVIII) problem Porsche, Abarth, etc. be in the rallysport, I mean really, what's yOURS problem? Skoda and Ford were in a big shithole 20-25 years ago even dedicated to the rally sport and having all the technology available. I don't see Porsche ever has been going in that direction. How retarded I am now? Surely I feel very low on intelligence level.,,

Nobody's against new manufacturers but this RGT class is not going to revolutionise rallying. It will be a niche class at it's best. The past has proved it already. I don't mind seeing couple of good sounding Porsche's here and there but a) they will never fight for the top places in general classification thus b) they will attract very few drivers with any ambition to choose this class c) suitable only on tarmac championship rallyes and even then one must have really favourable conditions (dry weather, smooth wide roads with less bends etc). Sounds quite niche to me and a class for gentleman drivers in countries with good wide asphalt roads

Actually I also don’t see RGT as a revolution; to me RGT (like R4) is a complement to the existing rally classes and a way to bring more manus to the sport, manus that otherwise would be out from Rally. Also agree that RGT has now a limited range and is mostly a niche category; however it can still be an enjoyable alternative for privateers and an extra show for the fans. I only can’t agree with your lack of enthusiasm on RGT future, as I'm hoping that Porsche entry will help to revamp the category. Fingers crossed!

GT4 is far more than rally car.
99,5% of all GT4 cars are track-cars, that´s how Porsche can actually sell 100."quattro best 4wd rallycar ever"

If you are a driver without big ambitions because you are too old or just not good enough, willing to drive the best car possible, but an r5 car is just a bit too expensive, what car would you drive?
They are indeed for gentleman drivers. But there are lots of those. In some rally here in belgium we have had up to 9 or 10 porsches, all private projects.

Looks like Sordo is testing there as well.
