WRC mainclass from 2027

But at the end it does not matter at all. No one will be able to compete with Toyota, since they will be the only one with real manufacture investment left.

What about the Toyotas competing against Toyota?

[Ferranis]

Then a Toyota would beat a Toyota leading to Toyota being the champion in the World Toyota championship

And eventually Toyota would leave as they prefer having a challenge.

At this point Toyota IS Rally1. Maybe we should kindly ask them to run cars for all current Rally1 drivers ;-)

Would make for a nice competition

I wonder how the price cap will work, but I'm afraid it won't be really effective for keeping a performance balance. Afterall cost of the car doesn't necessarily need to reflect the cost of development for big manus.

Maybe financial cap ala F1 could work somehow? But idk, as F1 isn't customer focused like WRC27 aims to be.

Or some kind of financial balance, like customers must be able to somehow cover the cost of the development by the car sales.

A team cost cap would be the only action helping in my oppinion. But it's a huge investment to control it if I understand correctly from F1

The WRC side of things won't be customer focused. Maybe it'll have that by-product, but the new promoter doesn't sound like they're settling for that.
