LOL! -WRC car for $15k U.S??? Um, think again. A stock Subaru Impreza WRX
costs over $20k. A front-running Impreza variant in the U.S. ProRally series
may cost $150k or more. Meanwhile, the top WRC cars easily cost over $500k
each. That's just the car with no spares at all. To contest an actual event
takes about the same amount in logistics, support crew, consumables like
transmissions, an 18-wheeler full of tires, etc. And, *then* there's the
testing and engineering behind that. So, in actuality, making use of those
50 homolgated cars a year is faaar more expensive than even $500k

Finally, "WRC" is not a Subaru-specific label. Rather, "WRC" is an
abbreviation for the  series itself, the "World Rally Championship". The top
of the series is contested by Peugeot, Ford, Subaru, Citroen, Mitsubishi,
Hyundai, and Skoda. They're *all* WRC cars. HTH
