    Shouldn't be much of his saying about the future cars
    To me the lack/zero interest of new teams is also that they keep using the same engine for soo many years.
    They started in 2017 and probably keep going couple of more years..

    +

    What's the deal with the hybrid provider..?

    All the rally1 fuss goes around the hybrid technology.. but why is there 0 decals/PR about the HY company on the cars and commercials/banners etc..?
    Paid enough to not PR the company for a faulty system..?

    It's an FIA policy requirement, and not one of the rally department. The PR is 'look how green our championships are' when they get to COP summits on their private jets.

    It's not mass market tech for Compact Dynamics to yell about.

    If they go rally2+ i probably won't go to events, that's not 100% helping the series

    Even though I'm not 100% sure about the rear, finally someone designed a livery in more than 15 minutes... thanks M-Sport. Wish the performances will be as cool as this livery!

    Think nobody wants to face the truth and strongarm the situation. They're just waiting for the inevitable withdrawal of one team that will force them to make decisions. Just hoping they don't do anything stupid and go for EVs that will kill WRC as they did with WorldRX.

    This is an impossible solution, due to the high mileage the WRC needs to cover. The batteries would be enough for road section and a couple of competitive mileage. Then what?

    Hardly a fan of the sport then, are you? The top drivers will make most cars look good......

    Is there a better sound than that of Porsche engined Flat-6 ???
