WRC mainclass from 2027

[saco0o]

I was imagining these builders will eventually sell more cars to other teams/racers...
but now i wonder if thats the actual plan. fia seems to be avoiding having more privateers... since they closed the door on ME BUYING AN UPGRADE KIT for my i20 to compete against Tanak in monte carlo 2027 (example).
what they will say next? "you gotta build 10 wrc27 cars, but you can only sell 2 at a time for a constructor related team" or something dumb like that.
i completely lost my trust

Yes. But 2027 is too soon whilst their cars are useless outside of WRC. They've no need to rush into builds because it's an irrational expectation in the first place for them to sell any cars into the market yet. The only possible chance they have of competing multiple rounds at all in the next 2 years is if the promoter/s support them. That's still possible IMO because that's why we have heard from the two constructors who announced.

Also it's why I expect RC1 to return. If new cars are not being open to privateers next year and with Rally2-WRC-kit as well, it shows clearly that parity is not desired, so when they have to be opened up to the masses, the P1 top category will have to step up.

Imagine on Dragon's Den or Shark Tank programme.

"Hi, I'm asking for €2m for my company that builds rally cars"
"What's the size of the market?"
"We expect there to be 6 cars to be built by another manufacturer and a further demand for no cars"
"I'm out"

I really do wonder who would buy an expensive & unproven WRC27. Most likely an equal number of people who develop a Rally2 kit.

(The Homologation of the Rally2 runs out soon, but I bet my left ass-cheek that it will be extended significantly (indefinitely))
