THIS! Or even 400km. The ever decreasing length of rallies is a disaster when combined with the ever increasing risk of stage cancelations. Even 300km events are too short to lose stages... It's embarrassing, but luckily the WRC bubble lost perspective on shame years ago.
Maybe we should get some statistics on how many stages were cancelled every year I don't think it has increased that much in the latest years
Answer: NO
WRC Regulations
17.1.1 Each Manufacturer must use no more than 2 engines per car
name per season (see also Art.17.2.2 and Art. 17.2.3).
But
17.2.3 When a car does not finish...
Where do you set the limit?
Do you allow a new engine and a new gearbox on every day of every event?
Using your figures that would be €1.5 million in engines and gearboxes every event!
The WRC has some stupid rules.
The manufacturers spent 60 miilions a year or more to win titles, and then they limite engines to only two?
A third one would blow the budgets? Seriously?
