In Australia we have a Proton Satria one make competition as a class in the Rally Championship, which means the drivers get a taste of the real thing while learning and competing on equal terms with others as well.
It's a good idea, but so far I haven't really seen anyone come through into the main championship (previously they used Toyota Corollas). Though with the Proton series, first prize is a drive in a Proton in the Rally of Great Britain, so something may come of it this year.
