    No. RRC is an M-Sport name for something which is technically S2000 with 1.6T engine. R5 is completely different thing.

    WRC 2011-2016 were basically up-tuned S2000 (or RRC in case the S2000 had 1.6T engine). The S2000/RRC were reasonably more expensive than the R5 at the peak of their popularity. R5 is a different thing built according to different philosophy (much more stock parts, price caps not only for the whole car but also for the components etc.).

    The combination of regional rally car and world rally car proved to be a wrong thing. Basically mobody was converting the cars from RRC to WRC and back (some did but very rarely) and the only result was that the regional rally cars got way too expensive.
