This will off course be about 3rd and 4th drivers.
Will be interesting to see what happens in 18 and further on. 17 machinery is at one time going to be the cars privateers want to run, and its very unlikely M-Sport will continue to make 16 cars.
A Privateer Cup wont have longevity if they dont think of how they could introduce the 17 cars in to this. It could be done with different restrictor and passive diff?
But this is really only a M-Sport problem, because neither VW, Hyundai, Citroën or Toyota are likely to sell of WRC cars, and have done so until now only in very rear circumstances.

So the question is: What will Henning Solberg be allowed to drive?
He is not an official M-Sport WRC driver, he will not enter R5, and he would most possibly like to continoue in WRC after 2017.
