I'd even go as far to say that they've made the situation worse as it seems to have been harder for M-Sport to keep up with the full works outfits under these regulations.
Whilst for sure all regulations have the hope to create interest from new manufacturers, I'm also certain these Rally1 Regulations were created to KEEP the current 3 involved.

I'm sure I've heard Malcolm / Millener say on a number of occasions, that without these regulations Ford would already be gone.
