10 years ago the jump was from fwd cars to wrc cars. 15 years ago, the jump was even from fwd cars to wrc cars with 3 active differentials and even active suspension.

The current 4x4 turbo r5 cars must be probably the easiest cars in a very long time to step up to wrc cars.

It doesn't matter which car you give the real talented drivers, they will learn very quickly to go fast with even a garbage bin on 3 wheels.
