It's been for years now, and we can only assume it's what the FIA wants because they keep it that way. Just having some old wrc's with kinda decent drivers as the 0 and 00 car would mostly fix the problem, and would also give something extra for the spectators to watch.
Purpose of zero cars is safety and only safety. They don't and can't drive on racing lines and at racing speeds and devote attention to anything other than crowds and safety.
I kind of thinking for a while now that Tanak will be placed in Lancia or Subaru (if the dream will come true), like some kind of a underdog. In Hyundai he will never achieve much, Ford is too slow...
Actualy I noticed that Ogier had massive understeer, then Pajari some of it. Fourmaux on the other hand didn't have that problems. Do he have 2025 or 2024 car?
Fourmaux and Neuville with 25 car, Tänak with 24 car
