Im happy with the decision, honestly. I dont think we will atract manufacturers, but I can see some richier teams joining the Rally2+ thing that will be more or less on the same level as the rally1-. On FB there were people saying "Oliver Solberg" opted to race in WRC2 because they more or less already knew about these changes, so they opted to not waste money on Rally1 cars since it would be ditched. Some said Kalle's decision was also influenced by this dismiss of Rally1 cars.
Not sure we can truste all infos we read on facebook, but IT KIIIINDA makes sense. I dont think the shareholders didnt knew about this until today. The Rally2+ conversation has been around since last year, it didnt came out of nothing, they were talking about that already behind some close doors, for suuure.... But anyway. Im happy!
