I think if you ran R5, then entries would go through the roof, those cars are run all over the world and are perhaps the biggest success story of modern rallying.
the WRC cars are insanely expensive, and once you get past the aero pretty much the same as the last batch,
The only way you keep manufacturers is to offer them what they want and that's electro/hybrid, whether you like it or not that is what they want and they wont stay if they don't get it.
I would be happy with an R5 series with perhaps an R5+ very heavily restricted with a bit more power for the factory teams
