I'm pretty sure that's one fast mongrel of a rally car!! He sure drives it like he stole it!

Frankenstein Evo WRC would be the most fitting name in my opinion.

Same as any factory WRCar currently rallying, a hand built custom that is not related to the production cars...But it moves well and is driven well!

Ahhh...but there's the rub, Sean.

Far out unobtanium gadgetry paid for by MANUFACTURERS = WRC (and deserves the bowing and bootlicking associated with).

Equally far out innovative design, albeit budgeted much smaller, paid for by SMART and enterprising INDIVIDUALS = ILLEGAL (in most series).

You can do anything you want if you are A. a manufacturer, and B. pay to get it homologated. Wings, car structure, aero devices, engine placement, etc.

Shameless Copying'

WORLD RALLY CHAMPIONSHIP
With immediate effect, the restriction on parts will be eased for new manufacturers in their first year of entering the Championship. A new manufacturer may ask the FIA for a waiver to use two additional engines without penalty, and a change of parts, as described in the Sporting Regulations.
The new technical regulations for the future World Rally Car will become effective from 2011. The WRC Car will be based on the current Super 2000 and Group N cars, fitted with a supplementary kit, which includes turbo and rear-wing additions. The kit must be able to be fitted or removed within a defined time limit, to be determined.
The current World Rally Car regulations will be extended to include the 2010 World Rally Championship, subject to technical controls. The new World Rally Car will be permitted to compete from 2009 and score points in the Championship from 2010.
The Japanese and British rounds of the 2008 FIA World Rally Championship will now take place on 31 October to 2 November (Japan Rally) and 5 to 7 December (Wales Rally Gcool smiley.
From 1 January 2009, winning co-drivers in the FIA Junior and Production Car World Rally Championships will be awarded a world title.
