That would be a total surprise. Alternative energies on the WRC were said to be discussed on a WRC commission meeting earlier in the year, but nothing come out from it. Besides, Smeets recently (last...

That would be nuts; no manu can cope with new regs every 4 years.

AFAIK, VW was the only manu asking to short the 3+3 cycles (to a 3+2, not a 3+1), in order to rush new energies introduction, but...

Did the FIA change WRC cars development cycles? 2017-2019 and 2020-2022 without major changes and new regs only from 2023, that was the initial plan. If it remains like that, why can’t Skoda enter in...

It’s a shame Evans doesn’t dig a bit more in order to know if these alleged R5+ idea is coming from the FIA or from certain manus. Anyway, it can make sense to have a privateer or junior cup in WRC2...

Still impressed with Ciamin; ok, his raw speed wasn’t astonishing and he was easily overtaken by Veiby, but if we think that he’s only on his 3rd ever rally season and it was his second outing in...

Ciamin was much slower this morning, but he has been doing a great rally (P2 currently), considering his lack of experience in 4wd cars. Hope he’ll manage to be on the final podium.

Any photos or...

Why was Kajto so slow on SD?

In a week we'll know it. Hopeffuly it'll be ok. Fingers crossed.

Great news! It took a while to see Ciamin confirmed in WRC2. He’s one of the best young French drivers. Fingers crossed for him!

Hat off for Katsuta! Beating Tidemand in Sweden is an amazing achievement. Hope he'll manage to show a good pace also on the gravel events.

According to www.rallye-sport.fr, besides a WRC2 program, Loubet will also do some ERC events, with FFSA support.

Still no confirmation on Ciamin; he was trying to run at least 5 WRC2 rallys,...

It’s great to have Molinaro on the WRC, despite her jump to a R5 may look risky. Mouton was ever on a class of her own and ready to be at the WRC since day 1. Aitken Walker, De Martini or Holderier...

’17 was a bit atypical due to the series changes, but this year it seems there’s a renewed interest in the JWRC. Besides the WRC experience, for many of those young guys it may look more appealing to...

Honestly, your step by step view makes total sense and could be the norm for any young driver wanting to start an international career; still, currently JWRC seems to be a quite attractive series...

Unlike many of the other top sports, in motorsport you’ve to pay to play and very few manage to be paid for driving. Rally it’s even harder than motor racing; manus or top team seats are rare,...

Hopefully R4 cars will give a help; even if they’ll not be cheap to buy, they seem affordable to run (and rent) and competitive enough for young drivers starting an international career.

‘17 WRC cars were the right bet to revamp WRC. The pinnacle rally series needs to have the most developed and spectacular rally cars around; for sure they are expensive, but overall they’re using the...

+1; FIA could be less strict in the European WRC events and rally series, like they are in other continents.

Don’t shoot the messager…I’ve just gathered the info available on different threads of the forum and other rally sites/pages.

Btw, after Evans ‘WRC2 treatment’ during 2016, seeing top drivers...

Still plenty of question marks, but gathering WRC2 news and rumours of the forum and from the net (most recent is Ucci in a 208 backed by Pirelli), next year field could look like this:

Fabia:...

2017 was WRC revamp year and next year it seems will be WRC2 turn. Besides Skoda and MSport, Hyundai is joining the series and Proton can do the same during the season. Most likely, Citroen will also...
