The FIA "ticket" is for new entries. The system used in the British Touring Car Championship is for the organisers to keep a small number of entry licences which can be leased on a short-term basis. These are used for new teams to enter the champonship. Once they have a couple of seasons experience they are expected to bid for a normal entry against the other teams. Teams leaving the championship are also able to sell their entry to other teams. I haven't studied the FIA WRC proposals, but I expect they are similar to what is in use in the BTCC.

I see your point but if the development costs of the hybrid system had been down to just the three teams there wouldn't have been any opportunity for a fourth team to join. FIA having a share at least leaves the door open for somebody to join.

I'd like to know more details of the problem before getting too concerned. There's no substitute for actual testing in a car under similar conditions to competition. Temperature and vibration testing in a laboratory cannot fully replicate the stresses that occur on an event so it's no surprise to me that there are issues with the hybrid kit at this stage of development.

Sounds quite bad, not very good PR for Compact Dynamics...
