Lappi also giving negative comments on the "R5+" regulations for 2022. He says "it looks stupid" and that "wheels will fly off when those cars are driven flat out". But he also thinks they will still look spectacular and drivers will have driving to do because of the lack of (active) center diff.

Current R5 cars seem to be driven pretty flat out without wheels flying off...

- Remember added power will increase the strain
- WRC2 cars have always more punctures than WRC cars.
- Competition in WRC2 is not as fierce as in main WRC. This has been said by all drivers who have stepped up recently from WRC2 to WRC, they say that you need to push all the time or you fall off the competition. I assume doing this with R5 cars (with more power) would result in more technical/mechanical issues.

The reason why they have more punctures is quite logical, just look at the roads after the WRC cars have passed.
Now they take huge cuts and put their wheels in crazy places because they can, with new cars, they will have to adapt.
I love the current WRCars, but with the current situation and the financial crisis that's coming at us, it's a no-brainer. The whole automotive industry will be heavily affected, and one of the first things they'll save money on is motorsport.

Could they go back to the previous generation of WRC cars and just add a bit of aero ?

I also have to add that I agree that it's a good idea to reduce suspension travel, and to simplify the transmission. It will make driving more spectacular and reduce corner speeds. You cannot drive as straight and flat out as now.

First leg he will be thinking in Portuguese championship. Then he can go for WRC2.
