I read the post of Andre Oliveira in the "Audi" thread and I saw that FIA is trying to hold old N and A cars in international rallies by extending their homologation by 8 years. This is the first time this is done and it is an indirect admittance that cheaper cars are needed.
Actually, this was done from 2019. The list of homologated cars is from that year. I agree with the rest of your post.

With development and testing help...
Yep, the materials used were the issue. Drivers were begging fans to return any aero that came off their cars during a rally as they cost a fortune to replace.
I dont agree. If FIA and promoter works properly and has anything to offer, I am sure we should have 3-4 manufacturers (which is enough for proper championship)...
