"The working group has stipulated a minimum of 25 competitive cars in the WRC’s premier category from round one next season."

...doubt. If they are going for Rally2+ cars, we will have to believe that theres at least 17 privateers willing to UPGRADE their cars in order to fit the new top class together with 3 hyundais, 3 toyotas and 2 msports (well... IF they are all willing to keep the "factory teams", of course... and I'd guess Hyundai would quit the factory team)
BTW... really weird to just decide this number at a table, eh? "25 cars starting for 2025". Yeah, right. Whos paying for that? Weird.
THO... If they go with Rally2, then Fine. Its solved, we WILL HAVE enough privatters. Screw Hyundai, Ford, Tierry and Ogier if they "dont want to drive Rally2 cars" hehe
