That’s a good point. On dry tarmac Rally3 cars won’t get a chance against Rally4 cars unless they’ll be allowed to use a wider restrictor. The extra power from a 33 or 34mm air restrictor would compensate the 4wd weight, besides being in line with FIA’s class pyramid purpose.

Btw, as in the top class, the FIA needs to attract more manus to the lower categories: currently there are only 3 brands involved in Rally5/4/3; that’s ridiculously low.
