Also in that time the 4WD cars were young and suffered from issues which have long been overcome such as massive understeering or no chance to use handbrake turns on asphalt.
For sure it would be possible to win certain asphalt events with 2WD car if suitable rules are created but what you'll get would be nothing close to the production GT but rather some crazy prototype which would cost even more than WRC.
On paper, maybe. But you could easily do the same with F1. Because the final regulations weren't set until end of 2025, things were changing every time. Well you know when engine regulations were...
