I’m not sure that’s the case, reading the article they all seem to have come to agree that specifically talking about the engine, although the GRE is far more expensive per unit, they won’t use anything like as many through a season, and the engines are pretty well developed now anyway. Also if they go back to a production based unit, there is the possibility for 1 to spend a huge amount on a different engine that the other cannot, and then it’s more of a problem.

It's not crazy, but the SUV is taking over the world already. It doesnt need another boost via WRC.
For eco reasons family cars should be getting smaller and lighter but instead its the opposite.Last edited by Fast Eddie WRC; 1st April 2020 at 17:56.

I read that article, and it just disappointed me. SUVs sell, so the WRC will go down that route. What about other race series - I bet they won't touch them with a barge pole.
Is there a better sound than that of Porsche engined Flat-6 ???

Render from last year predicted this...
Puma ST would be the 'base car':

So the 'scaled down' prototype proposals weren't for Subaru, they were for Ford...? Looking at that picture though, if you were to take away the bottom 20cm of the entire body, you'd actually have a fairly sleek looking hatchback. Essentially a smaller Focus. Certainly I'd rather this wasn't happening, but maybe the finished product won't be so bad. I'll say this though, this better mean Ford are going to properly financially commit to the WRC and M-Sport going forward... I wouldn't bet on that happening though.
It is nowadays Prokop´s own car or still BRR?
