The closer in performance the cars are the more often they will appear in top ten (also take into account lesser reliability of R5 in the rough events) and especially first day will be very messy and difficult to follow when results broadcasted on TV will be different than real results.

Some imaginary R5+ won't be much faster than the real R5 (that is simply impossible) which means that even normal R5 would mix much more in the results than now, i.e. a chaos in results is very real thing to be expected. Those private cars will also mix in the start lists of the second and third day and take away the TV time from the manufacturers. For sure we can say they won't like that.

And why do you think they shall use for their marketing something they don't want?

How did you come to a conclusion that the proposed rules are not a way to seek for new entries? In every meaningful aspect they are designed for that far better than your R5+ which manufacturers neither want nor need.
Look again. The point here is on the absurdity of believing that the WRC should be fine on having a small number of manus in the series.

That sounds as a recipe to disaster and I believe you weren’t able to refute it with a single valid argument.

Strangely, it seems that Matton’s reckless otpimism on the series future is becoming contagious…
