How can it be dead if Porsche has confirmed the 718 RGT car development? https://newsroom.porsche.com/en/moto...etz-16856.html
Porsche is not just another brand; it’s a reference in motorsport, with a rich rally heritage. Untill now most of the GT’s used in rally were privately developed cars, with little influence in the rally market, but from the moment Porsche gets involved many things can happen. It’s not hard to imagine they can use their vast RP resources to promote their rally activity, helping to boost RGT.
Besides, they don’t need, as Abarth with the 124 Rally, to make a rally car from scratch; they’ll use the affordable Cayman GT4 Clubsport racing car https://newsroom.porsche.com/en/prod...ort-16733.html, adapting it to rally, mostly by reinforcing the chassis and changing suspensions and brakes. That way they’ll be able to provide a RGT car not expensive to buy and maintain, especially if they decide, as expected, to involve drivers and teams into national and international monotype rally cups.
Btw, that is the recipe Alpine could easily follow, once they’ve already launch an A110 racing cup and even a GT4 version. Fingers crossed!Last edited by Rally Power; 19th March 2019 at 23:31.
