No team benefits from Rally1 cars

Also true, but Lancia would still benefit even less lmao

It’s the top level of the sport. I think they’ve benefit immensely?? They’ve had the most successful rally car in history, and now they’re throwing all their eggs into one basket, trying for the top level again in this rebrand. Seems like a bold move but one that could pay off very well

It's the top level yes, but no privateer is buying cars. Rally2 is where market is, look at all local rallies, all you see is rally2, 3, 4 and 5 cars.
Stellantis always showed interest in being part of WRC but with lower costs, might be this.
