The only but very important issue with such car is that the market for cars just for fun is extremely small. Let's be real. For far majority of rally teams buying such car is nothing but a waste of money.
There are many drivers who only drive for fun but don't have a budget for a r5 car.
If the price is right, that means lots of horses for an acceptable price, they will sell.
The problem is that they don't make the decision soon enough, or even have it in the plan before the race. The guy behind who's just come out on fresh tyres & is 2 seconds a lap faster needs the call...
What oother options do Hyundai have, if Tanak will really leave for Toyota? Will they hire again Mikkelsen, Lappi, Sordo? Or reach out for WRC2 field? Or even stay only with two cars?
