With the permanent evolution of R5’s cars, 30mm RRC’s would hardly dominate those series and outdated WRC’s could easily run some years more, without the need to create another (hopeless) competition inside WRC.
Can't help but feel a bit disappointed and bored with this season's championship fight... Thierry not liking the car/tyres and never really in the game. Tanak doing what he can but Hyundai is just...
