So petrol is still the only logical way for rally.
But todays top cars are to expensive, and fancy.

i feel we are at a Group B moment in time, but before the accident.
Take it down a notch, and use Rally2 as new top class.
Maybe the Joker system need to be adjusted a bit, so cost do not spiral out of control. Max price need to be kept.

it could bring more manus in, when cost is not that high, and they can sell cars to privateers.
Number of top class cars will explode, in most WRC rounds, since there are so many cars out there, and they can now be bought for less than 100 00€ second hand.
we can again get local boys that can copete with the grown ups, and bring back more dimensions to the championship than the 8-10 cars we have today.
Can't agree more. And remember, even without the terrible corsica accident, the future of Gp.B was bleak - Everyone apart from Peugeot and Lancia would have dropped out because of too high costs / too high a barrier to entry for newcomers. This is why Gp.S was on the wings, simpler, cheaper formula. It's even better now as you point out because there is such a base of R5 cars out there ...
