Ok dimviii,
apparantly you don't like Porsches, no problem with that. I like them and so the R5, RRC, R4, WRC, R3......
First do not spread infos about the purchase price of a new circuit 911 GT3 cup car at ''500k€''. If you order it via Weissach Motorsport department, price is lower than 200k €. 100 % sure!
Secondly what bothers me is your constantly repetition of advantages fact(s) : power and the tyre wide.
Why the hell you also do not mention the DISADVANTAGE(S) of 911 GT3 Cup car which is competing on rally :
- weight balance of the car (engine is behind the rear axle-how the car handles in wet you can only imagine in the worst nightmare)
- suspension travel (lot shorter compare to R5 - how the car handles on a bumpy surface, you can only imagine in ....blabla)
- very very unpredictable handling, not to say sneaky one....until the car is close to the limit, it is fun and fast, but when you cross this line, the car ''bites back'' as no other car can do. Remember: all the weight is behind and when this weight gets inertia, nothing can make it stop...except tree(s), fence, bush, ditch....so, a lot of balls and the driving expirience is welcome.
- the basic layout of 911 is older than 50 years, was never intended for rally. Compare it to 100% purpose computer designed vehicle is a sad thing....
And last but not the least : even that the configuration of the stages in Spain is in favour to GT cars (and the weather too/almost no chance of rain), the car still needs a capable driver. The car can not be first without the driver & codriver. So, all credit to GT drivers, they are real heroes (and crazy guys also) for me. If you do not agree with me, your problem...
If Porsche cars are now ''punished'' on the international level because the factory shows no interest in rally sport, it is Ok for me. The planet goes still around....but to slow down them on national level, especially when the number was increasing from year to year, the spectators loved them, well this is strange to me. The statement from Mirek (national championship was isolated) is funny...so is ours, so is Italian, German....it is national level and not international level.
