True, BUT, the current WRC cars are doing faster stage times now than the last of the fastest Group B cars were back then, and have been doing so for a while.
Granted, it took them all through the Group A era to get to this, but in comparison, the rule changes at F1 might actually be worse than, performance wise, the demotion from Group B to Group A rules in world rallying.
Maybe so but if you think about how fast these cars were going over 30 years ago when AWD was newer technology their performance was fantastic.
I much rather watch a B car than a new WRC but each to his own.
After watching this F1 race and the aftermath they can shove it, i wont waste my time watching it again.
This enviro/politically correct tripe they mentioned during the race has no place in F1.
