That 14 events rule as I understand is there that even if manufacturer wanted to offer those kits to customers they need to field two cars to be able to homologate that. Novoby will do that so the packages practicaly won't exist. And again as I said, if Rally2 stock will be able to fight for wins straight away, what is the point of Kits anyway? And also if more of drivers will be able to win (or fight) for title overall in a Rally2 car entering only half events as Ogier, then Toyota could do it to, and suddenly some events could end without top drivers. It's a mess up, created by FIA.
That is the part of the regs I don’t understand. Why make it a must for a manu to take part in all 14 in order to homologate the kits. My thinking would be that more kits= more privateers on the top tier. What is FIA doing?
