This sounds spot-on.

The FIA want a full 'ladder' and M-Sport have been the first to commit and create a Rally 3, thus they deserve the reward. Other Manus are also going to be encouraged to join in.

The next-gen of young driver's will also go this route. This is a future long-term plan. The current Rally2 guys are not the target.
