Anyone is free to dream but R4 it’s not a dream, it’s a reality and the market will decide if it’s viable, not you or me. As a rally fan I’m happy that R4 can provide privateers a larger choice of 4wd cars and private tuners can get more work with it; it’s also an opportunity to attract some brands that left the sport and others that still haven’t try it, which seems great.
Will it work? Time will tell. For now I can only hope the FIA will be reasonable enough to put R4 on a separate class from R5 and Oreca gets a bit more active promoting it; an Oreca sponsored R4 Cup in the ERC, using different models, could be a nice way to do it.Rally addict since 1982

I have nothing against R4, those are welcomed to rallies.
But I´m worried, it was homologated January 1st and less than 5 have been built. I think every other FIA what ever R car have sold more than that in first year.
Every european country are still building their own non fia 4wd, not FIA R4.
Like I have told before: In Finland R4 is in same class than Impreza/Lancer (N4) , still only 1 R4 is coming and same time 15 Proto 4wd have been sold and those Proto cars are NOT accepted in Finnish championship for point scoring."quattro best 4wd rallycar ever"

That proves there’s a demand for less expensive 4wd cars; the FIA took a long time to get it and Oreca hasn't been able to make a proper promotion of the R4.
If R4 faills, the opportuny of a single worldwide 4wd entry class will be lost; it’s hard to believe the FIA will care to match nacional 4wd protos under a common rule.Rally addict since 1982
