It’s very evident that even we, the supposed ‘real’ rally fans that are more than casual observers, can’t even come close to agreeing a way forward for WRC, so why would the FIA/Promoter listen to us, survey or not?
Like others have said, I think that some decisions have probably already been made in principal, and if the desire is to get much higher number of cars competing in the ‘main’ class there is only one way to achieve that in the short term.
