I they open for spaceframe in Rally2 also, its no point of manu's, then serious privateers can build own cars.

Toyota Yaris Rally2 will be the last R5 car under current regulations. Any other new Rally2 car will be made according to new regulations (but nobody knows when they will be available)...

Drivers and sponsors know the score, they're not expecting great exposure. Interestingly, this power stage was the first time I heard Julian call it a support series. Annoys me when they call them (WRC2/3/J) feeder series, that's total bollocks leading viewers to believe in things that don't exist.

Rich Millener hinted on all live that there were ongoing discussions about larger cars and (of course) hybrids, purely for marketing reasons. It's likely that the manufacturers want to opt for some small SUV/crossovers instead of the dying B segment. Since the Rally2 generally only needs to be slower than Rally1 and faster than Rally3 it may not be an issue if the cars are not as fast as the current Rally2 (except for the transition period with both together but that could be solved by slowing down the outgoing generation artifficially - not saying it's a good thing but it's certainly possible and it was done in the past).

Hello again !
I mentioned this on the previous page about Millener and future Rally2 using bigger cars.
With the recent Fabia RS selling in droves and next the Yaris Rally2, it will be very tricky to balance sales of these and any new spec cars. It seems the Puma could be the first but will M-Sport have the money or be willing to take the risk of being the guinea pig ?
