Just some quick questions
What is the purpose of the RGT class, who do you see as the typical buyer/driver?
What kind of tempo speedwise on dry asphalt should a RGT car with a top driver manage?
- Same as Rally4
- Quicker than Rally4
- Between Rally3 and Rally2

For what reason? 2WD cars can be faster than 4WD and often they are. It's only about the exact spec. and rules not about being 2WD per se (see Dakar).
The issue with GT cars is that they represent premium brands and rather expensive, yet hardly faster than an uptuned shopping bag called Rally4/R2. Comparing the investment in them with R5 cars is quite natural because in terms of money there's not much difference.
God knows because with the existing rules they are basically just a tool for fun for a few enthusiasts.Last edited by Mirek; 25th January 2021 at 18:10.

That simply isn't true. There are plenty of events where Rally4 have been faster than RGT.
The allegedly main field for RGT is supposed to be the ERC, yet RGT in 2020 didn't beat Rally4 in a single ERC rally! They lost by 17 minutes in Hungary, by 9 minutes in Rome and by 3 minutes on Canarias.Last edited by Mirek; 26th January 2021 at 12:04.

Almost all Finn's since Paavo Nurmi who are fast in their sport have been called "Flying", particularly the 1960's rally drivers, but I was actually thinking of "Flying Finnish" - the timing line at...
