    I watched that without reading your description and thought "it seems a bit restrained, not quite as savage as it might be". Then I read about the "2025 spec" and thought "oh".

    I find this whole 2025 question depressing because my head says "Just go to WRC2 because the economics work" and my heart wants very fast cars like the current R1 which are thrilling to watch.

    Perhaps simpler cars with more power might be a way to reconcile "spectacular" with "cheaper" -- 2-litre turbos without the hybrids, torque vectoring, big aero, complex gearboxes and so on. But that would be a 2027 thing, not a 2025 thing.

    No easy answer to this.
