how do they expect to turbo charge a 1.6 litre engine, rev the shit out of it for 10 rallies a year and think it will last?
wrc will be so tame, a solar powered rally car would be more exciting.

even the half competitive local guys in group n dont get a full season out of an engine. Epic fail.
What happens if you punt the thing hard into a tree and break something? You are effectively out of the rally you crashed in and then also presumably you would have to carry some sort of penalty into the next rally for having a new engine. So being a protaganist you hit a cow in mexico (i.e. totally not your fault) and you fail that rally then you are nowhere in the next rally aswell becuasey you are carrying time penalties. Bing bong your wrong Brendon

Much as I reckon that at the top level of any sport you should be able to arrive with the best quality brand new components available to you I can see the thinking behind it. If they want to decrease the cost I would vote for cheeper components or some shared components rather than extended lifespan.
From a purely mathematical point of view though the engine would have to last the 13 rallies I am guessing with about 250KM of closed course race speed running = 3250km + perhaps twice that on transport stages. Baring engine destruction in a crash ( and I would think that the failure to finish as they did in F1 on the 2 consecutive races rule would be penalty enough ) I can't see that it is not technically achievable and probably a more interesting way of limiting engine performance than limiting boost or adding restrictor plates.

lol @ restrictor plates, they don't have carbies :P
More like 350-400km of rally stages and up to 2000km in total including liason.
