So, where are the rest? The ACO have played a blinder for the WEC, and have a strong list of manufacturers. Why couldn't the WRC Promoter do the same?

I thought there was a little too much back slapping yesterday at a job done well......
Agreed - if you look at WEC they've got manufacturers falling over themselves to get involved. GT3 has many manufacturers, TCR has a wide range, even in rally there are quite a lot of R5 cars available. So why is the WRC field so thin? Too expensive for too little return? Should WRC use the R5 cars as the top level ? (maybe with a hybrid system added)
