Rumour about the banning, it appears that it was a cost cutting exercise in effort to reduce the running expenses of operating a WRC car.
It has been on the wall for sometimes as SEAT, Skoda and Hyundai pulled out of the WRC in turns. I could be wrong but reducing the operating cost will allow more manufacturers to enter the championship and make the WRC ccompetition popular again (more works teams)
The propose ban doesn't come into effect until 1996. Currently there are the following manufacturers:
Subaru, Mitsubishi, Citroen, Ford, Peugeot and skoda (just returned) - there are over thirty car manufacturers at present.
