Don't think so, cars are pretty fast and safe. New car homologations will be allowed in 2020, but regulations are expected to be stable for some more years.

Since the first videos of ‘17 WRC cars testing we got to know they were incredibly fast and last season has proved they were the right choice for the series; their ‘wow factor’ is helping WRC to recover the interest of old fans and attract new ones.
Safety concerns will always exist and current cars aren’t necessarily more dangerous than the previous ones, having in mind their safety devices improved design. Besides, at any time the FIA can easily make them a bit slower, taking off some power and torque via a smaller engine restrictor.
Anyway, it seems premature to be asking for major tech changes as we’re just on the second year of an initial 3 years cycle; it’d be great for the series to keep current regs till 2022, the end of the second cycle. Regs stability is vital to attract more manus and these cars simply rocks!Last edited by Rally Power; 24th May 2018 at 22:10.

This is nearly same accident from 2009 with a gr.N car with roughly 120 Hp less than the WRC (equipped with Prodrive T45 rollcage). Was it less dangerous? I don't think so.

Yes I fear so too, you just need to look at the new cost for tourists to get into Venice and when everyone sees the amount of money being made others will soon follow, and prices will go up. As...
