World Rallycross R1 - Barcelona, Spain

No it isn't.

Why? because aero means wind tunnels, and even more money, CFD engineers, huge software inputs and vast expense.

If you want WRX to go from basically a rich privateer run sport to full factory within 5 years fair enough.

But were will you be 5 years after when WRC has come back, is getting good again and is far more controlled and relevant to manufacturers.

IMG are making hay right now due to F1 being garbage and WRC being fairly poor, but WRC has a bit of impetus behind it with the new rules. And some PROPER manufacturers behind it, not two bit dealer teams like WRX.

It's all a good thing, but rallycross has made a quantum leap, with absolutely no care for anything but profit.

That can only be good long term if that is looked after and IMG don't give a monkeys about anything but WRX obviously. And making money.

MotoGP, a far. far bigger series dumped aero last year for the same reason, cost.

So be careful what you wish for lad.

Speedway under their control has stagnanted a little recently, and rallycross will aswell, it can only go so far.
