WRC mainclass from 2027

[Franky]

With the changes in the automotive industry and the quite big changes that will be in WRC, maybe it is time to review also the financial side of the top class. As WRC is the pinnacle of non-circuit racing championships, then why not create financial incentive for teams like it's in F1. At the end of the season a pot of finances is divided between the teams based on the final standings.

The current system of "you pay us to compete" works only for manufacturers but if it will be mostly private teams, then why should anyone compete in the top class. At the end of the day motorsport is still a business and if it doesn't make financially sense, not much will happen.

point is: how do they get the money for the pot?
