    I think the general point is valid though, why restrict them so much instead of just letting them run in their own class? Would you restrict a historic class car to make sure it doesn't have more power than a new R5?
    let me try to explain you.

    We have 5-8-10 drivers that they have spent 200-300k euro to compete at Spanish-Belgium -Italian championship.
    Somebody comes with a gt car with 420 bhp and 300mm width tyre and taking advantage (from the 100-120 bhp plus at same weight),at straights(at corners he is slower) and become champion.
    All the other drivers while they are much better/faster,cant become champions,due to power/tyres advantage.They will win a class,not a championship.So there is no need to spent 200-300k for a win class,when somebody with less than half money can become champion from these advantages.
    Rallyes always are run under rules.For decades and at ALL classes and championships.And rgt cars had big advantage from rules at power and tyres width.
    Thats not rallying.
    Its the same as i would like to win the champions league and participate with a team with 15 players against 11 players for all the other teams.
    Maybe you havent got any problem to watch football with 15 players against 11,but thats not football.
    If Vallejo or somebody else wants to win the local championship,there is only one way.To buy/rent a r5 car and compete against the other drivers.With same power.and same tyres.
