Some more detail on the new WRC technical regulations following last week’s WMSC decisions

Some more details have emerged in MN since the WMSC decisions in Paris last week regarding the new technical regulations for the (Superproduction cars with a bolt on-kit of performance parts) WRCars. Manufacturers won't have to use the same McPherson strut rear suspension design, providing the alternative they homologate is based on an original road-going drawing. The rule book may be reviewed if it is deemed a make is gaining an advantage.

Plans to cap the cost of the cars have been scrapped due to the complexities and costs associated with policing this. As a result Morrie Chandler has conceded the regulations "aren't quite as restrictive as we tried to make them".
