I think it’s fair enough.. the manufacturers will want some control over competition vehicles bearing their brand in order to protect their reputation, and besides without some kind of manufacturer support a Rally2 project is unlikely to be very successful. It’s not the olden days any more where vehicles in the lower classes were literally a road car with a rollcage and some bucket seats bolted in.

A big manufacturer like Skoda, part of an even bigger group (VAG), let's its motorsport dept live and die by it's own products and gives no financial or other assistance ?
I don't by believe M-Sport are competing on a level playing field against the likes of these in-house factory teams.
New facilities like this don't come cheap...
https://www.simpsonsskoda.co.uk/news...da-motorsport/
'ŠKODA Motorsport is now operating out of a brand new headquarters close to the ŠKODA AUTO factory in the outskirts of Mladá Boleslav.
The purpose-built facilities host all departments of ŠKODA Motorsport under one roof and can serve the needs of the customers and the factory team even better. Research and development, production, workshop, storage, workshop for prototypes, logistics, offices and a show room for customers are concentrated in the brand new facilities close to the ŠKODA AUTO factory near Mladá Boleslav. The persons working for ŠKODA Motorsport share 1,859 square metres of office space and 3,844 square metres of workshop and storage facilities. In total, the new premises cover 16,400 square metres.
Christian Strube, Head of Technical Development ŠKODA AUTO, says: “With this new headquarter, we are prepared for the future challenges. Due to an improved workflow, we can develop and built up cars even more efficient and make our service for our customers even better. Last year, our target was to provide more than 200 FABIA R5 to customers worldwide. And we delivered! Up to now, almost 250 FABIA were sold. In order to keep that momentum, these new premises are an ideal foundation for the future success of our motorsport program.”Last edited by Fast Eddie WRC; 23rd December 2021 at 11:23.
