‘17 WRC cars were the right bet to revamp WRC. The pinnacle rally series needs to have the most developed and spectacular rally cars around; for sure they are expensive, but overall they’re using the same tech of the previous ones, making the upgrading affordable for manus.

That wasn’t the case of LMP1 hybrid cars; FIA neglected the costs of developing a totally new racing technology and eventually manus weren’t able to handle them.

Anyway, each category has his life cycles; costs tend to escalate through the years and the need for a cheaper alternative only comes when the series aren’t able to provide a proper return for the investment. That’s WTCC current case.
