[WRC] News & rumours (part III)

[AdvEvo]

You are wrong with Your assumptions or better to say You concentrate only on price for end-customers - teams. Bringing gr.A back would be much more expensive for car manufacturers than to continue current WRC concept hence I'm sure manufacturers would not be interested at all. One single WRC car is more expensive than one gr.A car was. That's for sure. But You don't see the multiply higher expenses behind production of road-going rally cars. There is also the fact they don't suit modern standards of ecology and fuel efficiency (these law-based requirements exist and there is no use in pretending they are not).

Exactly and thats why autosport is going to DIE! most spectaters/poeple don t want small engine s or electic race/rally cars. Why do you think rallycross is popular. It bangs and spit flames and light up all 4 wheels with 600 hp. Downgrading and fuel saving programs makes all motorsports more worse everytime.

I understand that group a cars is more expensive for manufactures but if spectators are not interested in wrc rally buggy s with small engines how much value does wrc have for them anyway if you look at the numbers. Factory rally teams are there to sell more cars. If it brings nothing they are gone from the sport!

Historic rallying/racing is gaining more and more interest why? Because you can drive with real engines. Cars are a joy to drive and go sideways everywhere. Engines rev high and the running cost are much lower than wrc and r5 cars. And you have more choice in different brands.
