True - but a rally 2 is still significantly cheaper than a rally 1 and the cost hasn't been a barrier to large numbers being bought. I wonder what the total sales figures are for each class (TCR vs R5/Rally 2).

Rally 2 is of course also 4wd rather than TCR being 2wd so there's extra complexity and cost involved there. I'm not sure if there are any differences in terms of shell strength required? (TCR is designed to run on smooth tarmac only, Rally 2 is multi surface). Is TCR more equivalent to Rally 4? (2WD) - those are significantly cheaper than the Rally 2 cars.
