some care about comparison between different classes, some don't, everyone with his own opinion.

here we were talking/answering about performance of the forthcoming cayman from below post

If you want to talk about porsche profits/shares after involment at rg-t class,start a different topic

[giu canbera]

Seeing a Fiat Abarth on the podium is ALWAYS a good thing! No matter how many cars are racing...

I wish I was a billionaire... I'd totally build an Abarth to compete in WRC top class hehe

Why would they? I doubt it'll make Porsche sales better if they beat a Fabia?!?

Ok, I'm dirty enough now arguing. Insulting someone is the first sign of helpless in the discussion.

That's true but I still lack the rationale of this step. Simply why?

[AndyRAC]

Good question - why? Unless they know something we don't. A proper GT series, or a Tarmac series......Porsche don't do things on a whim - there's always a reason.

[Ucci]

Great that Porsche are getting involved the bigger variety of machinery the better. As long as the cars are well driven who cares what class they are in. A true rally fan surely should welcome any new cars at this point in time when motorsport especially the fossil fuelled variety is a dirty word.

Excatly my point! Everyone who is against this class is a stupid one....no matter who the manufacturer is, is welcome on a rally scene.

[Jarek Z]

Excatly my point!

And mine too! One of the things that got me into rallying in the late eighties/early nineties was the variety of competing cars. Nowadays it looks completely different. Any new manufacturer or car is welcome!

More than serving a rational purpose, Porsche history in rally has been always driven by the passion of a few brave guys facing the brand clear orientation towards track racing. Vic Elford (one of Porsche top racing drivers of the late 60’s, early 70’s) had an important role convincing his employer to get 911’s into international rally, while Jurgen Barth (Porsche racing costumer branch chief for decades and a talented driver himself) was a major influence in Porsche cars rally use during Gr.4 and Gr.B years. More recently we had some Porsche importers and dealers involved in national rally and a few private teams, like Tuthill and RD, homologating RGT cars for international use. I’m curious to know more on RM article, but it wouldn’t be surprising if this new effort is another small scale passionate program, probably inspired by the amazing Dumas.
