Prodrive boss David Richards tells something unusual: not only was the WRC project self-supproted, they didn't picking the manufacturer that would support them better...

I agree, superminis aren't the ultimate rally cars. I'd have left them for Super 1600 and forced WRC manufacturers to use C segment cars. I find it really strange that the WRC official website says "[supermins] are preferred by the FIA and the manufacturers as they are more environmentally friendly and are popular with the public", as if Civics, Corollas, Focus and Golfs weren't.

Because that would be awesome, but i do not see the 107, Aygo, Fox etc. as the "top field" rally cars, unless we return to Grp. B spec regulations. It could be interesting |

I would say more 207 size. We had the 206 racing a while back.

The reason i mention the 205, S1 and Delta, is that they are smaller than todays 207, but still larger than the 107. |
