FIA to review new WRC technical regulations following today’s WMSC meeting

The FIA will review the new new WRC technical regulations following today's WMSC meeting in Paris. 

The FIA statement following the  meeting said that it wants more information on the potential cost implications of the new regulations in time for the next WMSC meeting in December.

It was felt that the technical regulations could have been finalised today ready for ratification, but this didn't happen.

According to autosport.com, sources inside today's meeting said:

This seems to be quite a clear message: the cars must be cheaper. Full stop. There is feeling that the regulations have almost turned full circle and the 2010 cars would be pretty much the same as they are now. That's not what the FIA wants.

The FIA wants a kit which can be bolted on and off a Super 2000 or Group N car in next to no time. If it doesn't get that - well, it will get that. In their current form, the regulations appear to have gotten away from there."
