Rally 3 class

[AnttiL]

2. A top impressive young driver can go from (old class) R2 2wd to R5 4wd car quite easily, no need to adapt before

I think this is a weird argument considering they've repeated for years that R5's are too expensive for national leagues and that's why BRC has too low entry numbers.

When you go from Rally4 (R2) to Rally2 (R5) not only the budgets get much higher, but the cars also start going a lot faster, and you also need to learn driving 4WD and setting up the car at the same time (Rally4 cars have very limited setup capabilities, which will be similar in Rally3).

Especially if we start having Rally3 as common cars in the second tier national and ERC leagues, I see them very useful. Nowadays these second tier leagues are still filled with Evo's and Imprezas, which are quite outdated by now. I would also assume Rally3 is closer to Rally2 in feeling, compared to N4/R4 cars with bigger chassises and engines.
