Some WRC drivers did drive on wrc scale format before with R5 cars.. I mean it's each teams frickin' job to make it better. Isn't it?? He is concerned because he doesn't have a car yet and other two have it already for a quite some time now. Or he is afraid that if he did actualy build an R5 car it would be fragile as f***. These are race cars and most of the manufacturers who build that type of car is building them for a customers so the product needs to be excelent, otherwise they will go to the rivals which have better package.. Simple a that. Makinen needs to stop blaberring nonsenses. Just because he have unlimited money from Akio doesn't mean that every team have it. I'm worried about M-Sport not Hyundai. M-Sport could actually leave whole thing if the right solution will not be brought up.

My Google translate of the same article says that MSport and Hyundai want to remove the centre diff and reinforce the driveshafts at the same time.
The whole thing sounds like a big rant where he wants to keep everything the same as is now and just add hybrid tech. That might be good idea for him with probably the highest budget and currently the fastest car, but it's not difficult to see that others want changes.
I'd say that the number of manus in WRC (2!!!) speaks for itself about how sustainable current rules are. Furthermore MSport has been building rallycars since forever and has also been focused on costs for quite many years. Somehow I rather trust them on cost-saving ideas.

Most of you don´t understand that HYBRID needs power source (battery) which weights a lot.
For 50km range several hundred kilos.
That extra weight will break current Rally2 cars..."quattro best 4wd rallycar ever"

not really. take wrc2/3 we had we have ostberg, camilli, greensmith, we had rovampera. not far from top level, same km as wrc.
of course, car will be revised, not stay the same. but clearly is feasible without much drama.
also is pretty understandable that every manager tries to plead for their benefit. toyota is the only one without such spec car -even if they r to be revised- but especially such an engine. remember the battle over dismissal of gre?
point is this single manu benefit is not beneficial as well to wrc development in general. at least at this particular moment.

Now check how often Østberg's R5 rallies failed last year from technical faults. My point is that the competition in WRC2 is not as tough as in main WRC. You can drive easier and expect to get a podium position. If you do that with main WRC, you will fall too far behind, because the cars are more durable and the level of pace higher.
