    It doesn´t matter which 4wd or other "transmission" system road car has ...

    With so many rule changes, it woudn't be a surprise having the new limit raised to 1620cc...

    Anyway, Rally3 is increasingly becoming a sort of light R5 rather than a Rally4+; somehow it makes sense as the originally planned up to 1333cc engines (using a 30mm restrictor) would probably limit the cars interest, especially on tarmac.

    Would love to see a Rally3 project from Tommi Makinen Racing, based on the GR Yaris.

    Except of Latvalla, Neuville and Sainz, no other driver in WRC history would ever have the chance to become a WRC driver if there were not cheap cars when they were young. There would not be any Vatanen, Mikkola, Alen, Rohrl, Auriol, Kankkunen, McRae, Loeb, Ogier. None of these rally masters had the financial ability in their youth to drive cars of the cost of R2s and R3s of modern times. R2s and R3s are awfully expensive for 99% of the young drivers. This destructive regulation must stop immediately and there must be regulations that permit cheap rally cars to be made.

    I am 51 years old, I have my own business and I cannot buy an R3. I drive an old GrA with 190bhp on 880 kg that cost 25.000 euros and lots of personal hours to build, with a homologated roll cage from Custom Cages. It is immense stupidity or utter hypocrisy to ask a 25-year-old driver to find 100.000 euros for an R3.

    there's still some way, imo.
    Young drivers (<25) will start in rally5/4 in their national championship, whit cup like renault or peugeot or with fiesta ladder (all the way from rally4 to top). then there's junior wrc (or erc). at that time, if talented enough they have won some race/series in entry category and should find sponsor and a drive in r3 or above. no need to buy one themself...

    Indeed - we need more manufacturers to make Rally3 cars, otherwise it will just be a Fiesta 'One-make Championship' and this will never replace all the R5 cars.

    I actually thought it to be the other way around.
    Gazoo new facility for Rally1 team, and R&D.
    Tommy Makinen Racing to make and sell the customer cars from old facility and parts of the Estonian one.

    But same same, the important thing is that they will come with Rally2 and 3 cars!
