    With the break in current action I have been watching some old WRC series.

    In 2010 not long after the 2008 global financial crisis there were two Manufacturer Teams: BP Ford Abu Dhabi World Rally Team & Citroën Total World Rally Team.

    But also each had a junior team, Stobart M-Sport Ford Rally Team & Citroën Junior Team.

    And there were also SEVEN privateer teams running WRC's (Munchi's Ford, Petter Solberg WRT, Adapta WRT, Synergon Turan Motorsport, Van Merksteijn Motorsport, Monster WRT & Ipatec Racing) !

    And in 2011 there there were entries by 23 Teams including Mini WRC Team and Kimi Raikkonen's Ice 1 Racing1 !!

    This scale of WRC entry is what we've lost with the high costs of the new 2017-spec cars and what a reduction in costs could bring back.
