1) Not true. The current Ford, SKoda and Hyundai cars are bascially obselete.

2) SKoda and Stellantis are currently in the sport to the maximum that their parent companies are willing to put up with. THis is not necessarily a reflection on WRC, but on the philosophy towards all motorsport that exists within the Group. This is why even they said they wouldn't produce a 'kit' for their customers....

3) Great, lets make there already powerful cars more unsafe, for little spectacle....

4) All the manufacturers said they wouldn't do that. And in any case, it was a poorly thought our strategy from FIA because it doesn't work that way with the current set up of engines with pop-off valves on the engine. They thought it was a quick answer - it absolutely was not.

Again, this 'Working Group' thought they'd 'solve' the WRC without any real thought, consultation by a bunch of people who haven't been in the sport for a long time. Everything they suggested was found out to be wrong or unachievable. Every single thing.
