And the solution is nearly always option (a) - which, understandably is the safe option.
I've often wondered when new regs are proposed whether the FiA are brave/ radical enough to go for option (b) if the new regs suit another set of Manufacturers better? New regs tend to be an evolution of the previous regs. It would be interesting if they went in another direction....
Costs are an important consideration for Manufacturers; however, they'll think its worth joining if there is an excellent RoI/ media exposure, etc Does the current WRC offer this? I'm not sure it does.
Is there a better sound than that of Porsche engined Flat-6 ???

While I agree with the second part I don't think the views metric on your vids is a good example, maybe quite the opposite?
For National championship there are few good vids/coverage so people go watch your vids. For WRC rallies there is tons of coverage on allive/WRC+ as well as tons of fan vids, so less reason to watch yours in particular?

This is just some of my average video's from Norway, WRC channel should be able to get much more if they promoted it properly.
I didn't mean that my own WRC video's were doing bad, quite the opposite especially with the new cars with Catalunya last year when i could do all the good spots and got 2.1 mill views.

I just read an interesting list of 2020's predictions from a columnist in CAR Magazine. Among them he states that all forms of motorsport will reduce greatly in popularity with the growth of electric cars.
This will be as Manu's wont see how it will promote their road cars as performance and driving fun isnt their USP. And also racing/rallying wont be seen as an ethical way to promote such "green' transport.
And of course there is also the problem that any 'e-rally cars' will likey be as unpopular to watch as Formula-E ones are compared to regular F1 cars.
This all sounds quite credible to me and makes the future of rallying more uncertain than ever.

I think that Manus, who plan to race in WRC, should make similar road cars.. as they once did with STi's and EVO's.. I imagine smth like 250bhp 4wd hybrid cars..

They will not. This is pretty clear. Such cars are super expensive to develop and produce and will be even more with the new emission standards. You would need to sell millions of them to make them profitable and that is of course nothing but sci-fi. Such market simply doesn't exist.

Doesn't Fiesta ST isn't good enough. Toyota is developing new Yaris GR-4.. And I'm sure that with new i20 we will soon seen N version of it too.
Even if one of them try icons will never be replaced.
Lancer and Impreza are legends, just like quattro, Delta or Escort.
I'm very impressed when I see it in person but I can't say that for "new versions" of Delta, WRX, and "newest" Lancer.

There is little information about the technical side of the Yaris GR-4 but Fiesta ST can not be in any way compared to the cars like STi or Evo.

I am from Gran Canaria. I am absolutely convinced that there will be no problem with the rally.
