Not really such a thing as WRC1, if you mean the World Driver and Codriver Championship, it always was like this. If you mean the World Manufacturer's championship, it's what I've been sceptical of for many pages.

If Rally2s do go scoring for 'WRC1' manufacturers/constructors/teams; then WRC2 is redundant.

I agree with Fast Eddie WRC’s analysis. If you compare today’s Rally2 cars with the S2000 and the first-generation Rally2 cars like the Citroën DS3 and the Peugeot 208 T16 (back when it was still Rally5), they’re too efficient in terms of driving style, and the sound is also much quieter. They make less noise and don’t feel like they’re driving on the “limit” as much. This has nothing to do with horsepower. In my personal opinion, too much aero isn’t good for the sport either.

(I’m new here; I’ve been following these forums for years. I’ve finally managed to log in. This has been a source of information for me for years and I hope it doesn’t die out completely. That’s why I’ve decided to get more actively involved now)

Almost no car is boring when it's being driven by a good driver. When rc2's are being driven on the limit, they aren't boring.
It's just that most rc2's aren't driven by top drivers.
