    so you want to have champion this who will be most fast at straights. Why you dont watch dragsters?

    .Porsches are old circuits cars build from Porsche motorsport that cost when new 500k euro. Dont compare with new r5 cars prices.

    r2 r3 r5 wrc whatever class has restrictions,at power/tyres everywhere.Why Porsche must not have? Explain it to me.

    some spectators would like to see f1 cars at asphalt rallies,some others grB cars(because they sound awesome) and somebody else why not evos with 700 bhp(cheaper all of them)

    equal chances of winning with 120 bhp more? what are you talking mate? You dont ask for equal,you ask for advantages.

    thats why New Zealand has Hayden Paddon as wrc regular.Because he was competing at a class with RESTRICTIONS and was faster among other guys wihtout advantages.Not because he drove gr A evos and become champion among others with grN evos.
