No, it's not. The point was different.

Anyway If you remove the aero they will spend the same money on suspension, or on differentials or whatever. The budget they have is not much driven by the technical rules but by the amount of money their managing board allocates for them. This amount of money is mainly about the marketing value of the championship. In other words if you want to save money for the teams you have to introduce some sort of budget cap. Playing with details like material for door panels is a waste of time for everyone involved.

Still I need to repeat that you won't make WRC better by making it cheaper. That will not bring new manufacturers. The key point is to find the story to sell to the public, a story which is so powerful that the new manufacturers see it as a opportunity for their promotion. Nothing else will work. And to be honest I don't think that the technical formula is all that important in that. IMHO the work done on social networks is way more important than argueing over and over again about how the new car shall look like.
