Why is the SP so much more expensive than the NA? Where is the difference except for the turbo? How is the transmission regulated (like S2000, limited number of choices???)? Or is it just because it's the first cars delivered and you need 2 years of production to get the normal price?

The only price we have right now is from the Mini, and the "cheap" gold package has more than just the car in it: http://www.motoringfile.com/wp-conte...es-package.pdf

So lets see what the price end up with. Remember that FIA is moving other racing categories in the 1600T direction well, that should bring the price down on the engine at least, when volumes increase.

Looking at the 2nd hand market on S2000, 207s are now at 180 000 euro, that is still a huge amount of money for a privat team, when you can get a Evo 9 Gr N for aprox 40 000. Not sure what an R4 upgrade will cost, but not that much.

That is why FIA need to simplify the rules, to keep the cost down and number of cars up

The Maxirally concept in some shape or form, not a bad idea - more standard parts to keep cost down, at least at the 2nd echelon of cars.
