I'm not sure what your 'but' is?

There's no good reason why WRC2027 won't be able to compete any/everywhere. Rallys 2/3/4/5 will expire and these will be replaced with the new cars. So no good reason to expect the top field to shrink again after this crossover period ends, if this is your point. UNLESS - the time comes where they want to promote a showbiz 'WRC+' class again which is not on the horizon.
