Maybe we should embrace having just one manufacturer. Nothing levels the field more than everyone having the same car.

Well if all top dogs would get the same car, I wouldn't mind watching this one season like this.

Toyota says that they need some challenge too to justify their programme, so if nobody will be there, they will not participate either. The only thing that this would work if some non-manufacturer would build car and all manufacturers would put their badge on it, but let's not get into that, as it's the worst idea.

Why not use the travesti Mazda 2 to second team?

Team 1 with GR Yaris
Team 2 with Mazda 2

Subaru actually are working on few new STi models, one of them will be hatchback. And what would the best way to promote it than WRC.

Doubt there's any complication in creating a level playing field, they're very similar and tbh, probably no demand to create fairness. Also don't lose sight of that they're not actively looking for Rally2 manufacturer entrants, just more cars in the 'mainclass'.

M-Sport should be saying much more if they're fully onboard with WRC27. But MW saying they haven't even started and are concerned about the costs isnt a good sign.

On the level playing field, who will join unless they know what they'll be using will be competitive ? As the FIA are behind the new WRC27 Cars they wont want current Rally2 cars beating them...
