I agree it does look like that but we dont know what happens behind the scenes.
Sponsors and budget have often let him down.
And he's had a lot of bad luck with car reliability and when money is tight it's not worth continuing when nothing significant can be achieved.
Fingers crossed that he can get a good start in the BRC and see it through this year.

€345 000 for a new 26 Rally1 is less than a new Rally2, not sure for all brands, but for some.
Lets give the new class a chance, but knowing the engineers capabilities, maybe FIA went 1 step too...
