    That's why I do believe that rallying should have taken a step back and for a couple of years make Rally2(R5) their main category as well.

    I do understand that it wouldn't be as spectacular but we would have got a lot of brands and cars to challenge for victories, and then maybe renegotiate with the manufacturer's broader regulations.

    Look what happened with GT and Touring Cars. Both of them have nowadays cars that can be used anywhere and bought quite cheap and they are thriving.

    “But from the feedback I have there are some privateers that have interest in Rally1.”
    Interesting.

    When WRC cars were introduced the FIA attitude was that they didn't want privateers in them because they were too fast and that there would be special licence requirements for drivers entering events in WRC cars.

    It seems they have changed their mind.

    This was in 2017 when privateers couldn't enter a car directly to a rally, but they had to have a manufacturer enter them (like Östberg was entered through M-Sport all year).

    However, already in 2018 this seemed to change and since then we've had people with very little international or 4WD rally experience drive these WRC monsters (Jocius, Virtanen etc)

    Andrew Johns from the customer racing department.

    (And don't come with P. Solberg, that would be the worst possible thing for Oliver to happen)
