I have a really hard time to be objective around next years rules to be honest, since I am a WRC17 super-fan. Hope it turns out well, but I expect it will be a hard sell for new fans. Old fans will stay more or less no matter what

its going to be fine, fellas.
ask the ERC fans here. its totally ok, no joke.
cars may be slower but you get over it once theres other stories to pay attention - and there will be.
its like when f1 change stuff. people go crazy and talk & complain for months but then the focus shift to whats happening in the championship. its not a dramatic change like "we are going Evs, theres only 7 cars, 6 rounds and nobody can watch it"

Let's just hope that there are not that many people that think like me. High powered cars are a major part of WRC excitement for me and when I look in the past: Group B is so much loved for a reason.
But be it as it may: Currently there is no alternative anyway. WRC got devalued by the promoter / fia that much, that this is the only way forward

It will never be a big a change as 1987 was, with the switch to Gp A after the Gp B monsters. Plus they were banned for safety, not changed because they needed more Manufacturers!
Look at the Monte Carlo entry list for the cars we had to 'enjoy' ...
