The claim was that today's cars are 3x more expensive than older WRC and 6x more than Gr.A which is simply nonsense.

Anyway Gr.A is nothing but a history. It's simply impossible today because the world and the car industry has changed. There is no point bringing it over and over again into the discussion about the future of our sport.
