Yes, also in those times common cars had 50 Hp and the rally cars had 10x more! Nowadays 300 Hp engine in a road car isn't that special. When You take a used car You don't need to be any rich to have one. Even if You take that most common cars have around 100-150 Hp it's still only 2x-3x less than WRC car. Nothing mind-blowing about that. I know that modern rallying is not about raw power but the raw power has always been very appealing to the general public. Many people dream about crazy cars with 600 Hp they can watch on Top Gear...
