There are many good reasons to go back in time to prevent the 2008 financial crisis

One of which is to preserve WRC’s 2-liter class and, in the process, bring about Mitsubishi’s renaissance as a rallying powerhouse.

.Also, please make a 1:64-scale toy of that car. With real working suspension. I’ll pay $4 for that.

maybe now they might return as they have a bit of certainty with Renault backing.

Renault in F1

Mitsubishi can go back into WRC

Nissan can return to WEC

no overlap

Just one problem with this plan. Mitsubishi made the decision to leave in 2005

*hits self with pressure cooker lid*

OK...so I guess I should prototype Suzuki (with Tajima-san) to bring the fight to Subaru? Or revive Lancia? I mean Subaru can’t just...basically my ideal scenario is akin to LMP1 before 2014 where the class still lives despite having just two makes in the top-flight class.

Ford is there, and the Focus RS programme is the worthiest challenge Subaru can ask for, and Citroen’s there with their Fantastic Silver Surfing Superman of a rally driver, but that’s 1.6, and I am more excited to see an interplay between the “big” cars and the “small” cars.

Rallying is cheaper, but ReNissan are wusses who do a half-job of the right stuff.

Wait, what? Are you talking about current WRC or pre-2011 WRC? Because currently Subaru doesn’t compete, Ford is there but using the Fiesta not the Focus RS, and if by “Silver Surfing Superman” you mean Loeb, he retired years ago. Also at no point in the past 15 years has the 2.0 and the 1.6 been used at the same time.

No, I mean 2006-2008. It’s around that time I’m talking about.
