Very few Porsche's in the Netherlands, there were some a few years ago but those were more like "Group N", a bit like what Duez was driving in Monte Carlo. Rules in national rallying allow much more. Porsche's are more seen in France (GT+, search for Gilles Nantet, Romain Dumas etc), Belgium (Snijers, Vanparijs, Claerhout, Viaene etc) and Germany (Zeltner and Dobberkau for example). I think the rules in these 3 countries are quite similar. I think HP varies from 400 to 470hp. I know that the Porsche of BMA (that Snijers drove 2 times last year) had some 420-425hp, sequential gearbox, many ultra-light parts (the doors are like made of plastic), Reiger suspension with extra long suspension travel (modified to the original) and much more, it's a brilliant piece of engineering. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KsJLFKNATU0 The sound (or in this case music) is very different to what we've seen in WRC...
Also I think in Portugal and Spain rules are more free for the Porsches.

I have WRC+ since inception on a yearly plan. Next year I will go back to monthly since I do not know if I want to spend that kind of money to watch Rally2 and Rally2 equivalent cars driving around....
Wholeheartedly agree, and it would be hard retaining people even, as there won't be any live product to watch if it got to this point anyway. Only hardcore rallyists are paying Ł13/month to watch...
I appreciate his oppinion. Mine is that no one will watch WRC when the cars are boring (like Rally2). Rally is one of many types of entertainment and they all compete with each other. Good luck...
I read this here and then watched Maximum Attack where the 17 cars are the cause of what's wrong with rallying today https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1Ful9HnPkQ
