(very poor translation; Rohrl's actually saying how he finds the Cayman perfect for rallying and that he'll push Porsche staff to enter RGT Cup next season...)

Finally(?): the new Alpine. RWD, 1.8T, 300HP, 1100KG. If Renault really wants to honor the iconic A110, they must put this one into a ss! Vite!

It looks like the 2016 R-GT Cup will be contested over 4 rounds:
* Circuit of Ireland (7-9 April)
* Ypres Rally (23-25 June)
* Rally France (29 Sep - 2 October)
* Rallye International du Valais (19-22 October)

(from http://www.fia.com/events/r-gt-cup/season-2015/r-gt-cup )

There are no RGT starters in Monte Carlo and now it isn't on the list either.

Yes, but the calendar is clearly for 2016 (look at the dates and also the rally selection - Ireland was not part of the cup last year)

With FIA You never know. Let's see

Delecour said R-GT is too expensive

Well of course it is with the stupid rules that basically dictate that you have to rebuild an already rebuilt porsche race car.
If they had simplified the rules this would maybe not be such a stillborn segment.

finally seems that everybody understands that this stupid category has no place at rallies.

I really like it, on national and local events. In Belgium they bring a great attraction to the stages, especially for people who are not familiar to rallying they are great to watch. Also for a driver who has no big ambitions, these cars can give more fun for less money than R5 cars. But so do historic cars, which are very popular here... But indeed they're not meant for a real competition like ERC/WRC, they don't really belong there. Those GT cars will never be competitive on more than a handful of events.
