The Ypsilon will probably be the last ever homologated production car. If there's a point people are missing about WRC27 it's that it's a replacement for production car manufacturers in special stage rallying. The touring rally sport is for historics, modern WRC is fully rally racing and it deserves rally racing cars. And even then, for all this talk of suitable, small, cars; it's all moot because you can't force these manufacturers to then

a) homologate a suitable, small, car and develop a rally car out of it
b) compete at world level
