WRC future

[Mirek]

GT's apart, it seems the WRC may soon face a dilemma due to costs escalade: to keep current cars but to limit the length of the calendar and even of the events in order to decrease running costs or to keep the calendar expansion and the events layout but to replace current cars for less expensive (and less exciting) ones. It's a hard choice.

Sorry to disagree again. The issue is not the cost but the value in the current socia-political climate. Simply the manufacturers need to have a reason to invest. It doesn't help if you manage to decrease cost by let's say 20% (that's a lot) if the value is not there. The same applies vice versa.

In other words - would you buy something which you neither need nor want just because it's cheap? Probably not, right?
