The reason I thought GCK would be ahead of the others is because they've had to pay someone else for all the work, whereas Pug and Audi have done a bit more 'in house' With the Prodrive mark-up I'd have thought costs can go up pretty quickly.
Ahh apologies, then you're spot on! Though the money spent on the VW and Hyundai for WRC is mainly irrelevant when it comes to RX as so much has to be changed. VW's main resource they passed on to PSRX was their knowledge and engineering skill on the car rather than money, which is arguably more valuable - Peugeot and Audi have pumped money in yet still trail VW this year!
