WRC is live V8 Supercars. The cars look a bit like the road car but underneath are nothing like it.
They have altered the rules so that all cars are created equal and whoever has the biggest budget is the winner.
They seem to recognise this fault and have changed the rules for 2012 (or 2011) so that the cars have to be more true to "on-road technologies" and a reduction in costs of around 20%. It is a step in the right direction.
Yes, it is 4WD and is being run by ProCar, so it could be a contender.
Entering a few select rounds in 2011 and then the full season for 2012. Apparently a deal has been signed with ProCar for "a number of years".
You can even buy one of the cars from ProCar, if you can afford it.

a plucky little car and nil budget,
Where did you get that from?
The Cooper S that Hopkirk drove to victory at Monte Carlo in 1964 (won on handicap, by the way, not outright) was a full-house Works car entered by the BMC rally team which at the time was the biggest player in the game, and with what was at the time considered a mega budget.
Still a brilliant win, though.
no real relation or any chance of proving anything for the street legal models (Bini's will never be better than the original mini).
