Agreed, and definately better that the situation of the last couple of years.
FYI - Here's the standard wording for WCRC Recce, regarding vehicles:
Competitors are strongly encouraged to use unmarked, non-competition vehicles for reconnaissance, although competing vehicles cars may be used if there are no other options. Door numbers, such as those used during a rally, are prohibited
The all out ban on rally cars as recce cars likely only effects low budget teams ... I know I won't recce in the rally car unless I absolutely HAVE to.
As far as image goes ... I know of more than a couple of street cars that look more like rally cars than my RS did when I had it!
