I know I’ll get shot down, but I just find the current R5 spec so underwhelming, both on TV and particularly watching a stage live. They’re so bloody quiet for a start.
As someone posted above, maybe make the current R5 the new generation and hybrid, but please make them twice as loud.
I think R5 should be the top class and all cars should be run by private teams in different categories.
With bigger turbo restricters they could have 350 bhp's with current aero.
All teams would have two cars.

Categorie A "Top Dogs"
All the support from the factory and 1 manu could have more than one Cat A team.
We could then have like 6 CAT A Skodas, 4 CAT A Vw's and so on.

Categorie B
These would be customer cars and these teams could drive for their own championship.
Then these teams could do ERC and national champs as well and could measure their speed against the top dogs.

All cars shoud still cost the same and every upgrade should be available to all teams.

Of course this needs more thinking and details, but this was just a quick post.
