With the permanent evolution of R5’s cars, 30mm RRC’s would hardly dominate those series and outdated WRC’s could easily run some years more, without the need to create another (hopeless) competition inside WRC.
Problem is that most of current Rally2 manufacturers (or at least half of them) is not interested in factory teams or to be in the highest class of rallysport. They are customers oriented... And this...
