I just don't get the logic.
The logic is quite simple: despite being brutally beautiful machines, current WRC cars are too expensive for national rally use and for that reason they can’t provide a large and competitive national top rally field, like most rally fans want and R5 cars are providing. In that sense crews using R5's must be protected (not only in terms of championship points but also on their rally overall win chances) and occasional WRC entries should only be allowed in demo mode.
