    Logical as Katsuta hasn't been on the level so far this season.

    So apparently a manufacturer might join the WRC in the near future but who exactly and when is less known at this moment in time, however the promoter & the WRC are talking to 3 of them about joining in: https://www.autosport.com/wrc/news/w...ture/10464046/
    Only you know your true potential.

    While I understand that if a manufacturer ends up 6th out of 6 time and again, they will pull out.

    I don't get why 4 is the ideal number if they could get 5...

    My guess is since at the moment we only have 4 full time top drivers who can deliver wins and constant podiums, then lets say the 5th manufacturer who doesnt get the top driver will be the odd one out and losing every rally, and will probably pull the plug pretty quickly. But that is just my thoughts

    I think it's more about the ability to deliver value to more than 4 manufacturers.

    There is only so much airtime and media interest to generate return on investment.

    As well as that fact that someone always has to come 4th. 5th is worse....

    FIA is talking about the 4 manufacturers, because it is not able to get larger number. After having one more manufacturer they can claim how well they have managed all of it

    I have nothing against the guy, he is very friendly and great driver, but i mean, come on shouldnt he have learned by now to be careful with his Podium aims... then again Portugal is a tough gravel rally, lets see how many cars make it to the end.
