One of the reasons why I have lost interest in top level rallycross is that all the cars look essentially the same and perform the same way. They are all hatchbacks of a similar shape - some even use the same platform.
Take a look at a Brands grand prix from the 80s and you have Escorts, Fiestas, Minis, Beetles, Porsches, Quattros - with the odd exotic sportcar thrown in for good measure. Some struggled with oversteer, some understeer - and some just struggled! Now that was worth watching.
For me if they insist on homologation rules they need to find ways of encouraging a wider range of cars to take part.
