€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 far, and made it even simpler.
I would have liked the minimum length size to go from polo to golf size, so minimum 4300 mm. This would improve safety inside the car, and male them less nervous to drive.
