I have been and I remain a supporter of the idea of Rally2+ becoming the main class for WRC. The current situation is just not sustainable for the series, no matter how good the cars are.
To be honest, I would actually be happy with Rally2 if all 5 brands (Toyota, Hyundai, Ford, Citroen & Skoda) would field teams of at least 3 works cars, plus customer entries. Strong competition with a deep field of entries trumps 8 Rally1 cars for me everytime.
I know others have different opinions, but I think the WRC needs to step back to go forward.
