2 WD future?

[AndyRAC]

There will be more.

I really hope so, and hope that it is some of the 'bigger better known' Manufacturers. No offence but I'm not sure if we want 'Asian budget brands' - i;e Kia, etc

[Rally Power]

With the S2000+ formula in the WRC we can have at least 6 manufacteurs: Citröen, Ford, Subaru, Suzuki, Skoda and Fiat. Peugeot, Toyota and Mitsubishi could easily follow the example. For Proton and MG financing is uncertain, but they already have S2000 bases. There's a brilliant future for S2000+ and in 1/2 years WRC could achieved a never seen competitiveness
I hope Mr. Mosley doesn't spoil this great expectation

Next WRC is going to be based on S2000 & N-group cars with turbo, no 2WD this time.

Confirmed.

“The new technical regulations for the future World Rally Car will become effective from 2011. The WRC Car will be based on the current Super 2000 and Group N cars, fitted with a supplementary kit, which includes turbo and rear-wing additions. The kit must be able to be fitted or removed within a defined time limit, to be determined.

The current World Rally Car regulations will be extended to include the 2010 World Rally Championship, subject to technical controls. The new World Rally Car will be permitted to compete from 2009 and score points in the Championship from 2010.”
