No, the running cost of RRC cars is approximately double to R5. R5 aren't more expensive to run than S2000 (in some cases they are even cheaper - Fiesta R5 compared to Fiesta S2000). You can check M-Sport website, service intervals and prices shall be available there. Some prices for WRC/RRC cars are ridiculously high. If I remember standard engine rebuild for Fabia S2000 was 11 thousand Euro but for Mini WRC/RRC it was nearly 30 thousand and Fiesta wasn't much cheaper.

Double seems to be a bit exaggerate. RRC's parts are for sure more expensive but you won't have to replace them so frequently as on R5's. It's amazing to see how often R5 top teams replace their cars for new ones, while RRC's teams use them for several seasons.

I believe it's more than double but maybe somebody has some real data available. Anyway if I remember Fiesta WRC parts had very short service intervals, for gearbox it used to be only 400 km (it was before last evolution).
I was told by a man running several Fiesta R5 and before several Fabias S2000 here in CZ that the running costs are circa same. Afaik normally it was around 100 Euro/km. I can't imagine how You can push WRC car under 200 Euro. Some very old WRC cars for sure yes but modern ones?Stupid is as stupid does. Forrest Gump

The announced R5's service intervals look like a rally myth. From what I've heard, R5 winning teams tend to use shorter intervals to prevent R5 reliability issues.
Back to the French championship: why ban WRC's if they can continue to be competitive in 30mm RRC's specs? Why should a Fiesta or a Mini WRC owner have to sell his car at an unfair price (outlawed cars are always hugely depreciated) just because there's a rally monopoly that obliges everyone to get a R5?
Take Italy case. If 30mm RRC’s would be allowed at CIR the series would be much stronger and run CIWRC alongside CIR would become redundant. Having different series for different rally classes isn’t the way to promote national rallying, especially when it’s not that difficult to put all classes together in a competitive way.
Probably that has been FFSA major fault: being unable to get a proper BOP in order to match all top rally classes allowed at CFR.Rally addict since 1982
