It’s pointless having amazing cars if there are only 8 of them and half of them don’t finish.
Spot-on. Everyone remembers the wonderful GrB cars, but look at the results : It is often 4-5 Gr.B cars and then GrpA cars 1/2h if not more in arrears ... Sound familiar ? Neuville had to cruise on sunday yet salvaged his 5th place finish by miles, so far were the WRC2 cars behind.

A full WRC2 championship would result in 20+ cars at the forefront, same as the 90's GpA "golden age". Of course manu teams would always be atop, with better drivers and better prep, but there would'nt be an ocean between the 10 manu cars and the rest of the field. Every error would be paid cash - you're out of the top 10. Not to mention that once in a while some youngster/privateer could work some heroics ...(e.g .Gianfranco Cunico-like)

I would myself be way more interested. Been also a massive rally fan since the early 70s , yet I struggle to keep my attention these days with the short events and results decided by mid-saturday ...
