WRC mainclass from 2027

Still trying to understand if as and when these "tuners" have their cars ready to compete, will they be able to pay drivers or simply offer the cars to well healed individuals? If a lot of budget has been spent developing a car and then running it surely unlike a manufacturer there wont be much left in the pot to pay salaries..

why? the wrc27 was a tight schedule from the beginning, we still dosn't know thr reg. and toyota is basically the only manufacturer to have a project on it. they can take it extremely easy developing, while using the rally2 car till the end. rally2 will fade out toward 2030 and leave place to the new reg.

Off-topic: Subaru just presented the new car for Japan Championship - SUBARU Boxer Rally spec Z (or shortly, BRZ lol), with 2.4T Boxer and All Wheel Drive

It will debut at Rally Asuka in two weeks
