New president = same idiot.
“In my country we developed the AP4 concept. Now we have nine or 10 different makes involved. All the cars look different. I understand that a lot of the local distributors have got behind this concept, which is a good thing.
“My role is to encourage the growth of rallying round the world. The FIA, however, speaks about global concepts of competition cars such as 1.6 turbo engines. It hasn’t been lost on me that Australasia has gone off in a different direction!
“While the AP4 concept is being developed, there is a three year moratorium and many cars use 1.8 litre engines, but from the 2020 season cars will need to have a 1.6 litre engine to be classified as AP4.
“Part of the problem is that the 1.6 engines have been very expensive and relatively unreliable. People prefer to downsize a 1.8 engine which is a bit more reliable, doesn’t cost quite as much, but certainly there is only a place for the 1.6 engines from the 2020 season.”Last edited by A FONDO; 15th February 2018 at 08:42.

In the 80's and early 90's Safari had as much competitive kilometres as the whole WRC season. It's not going to work. The past is gone, just accept it, let it go and move forwards.
This is the candidate event. All closed special stages like modern rallies, no driving without helmets on open roads. 200 stage kms. https://www.ewrc-results.com/timetab...ri-rally-2018/ Of course it would be a bit longer as a WRC event, but probably mostly the same.

I think it would be a strong addition just for being in Africa. With the additions of Japan and Canada, the WRC would cover more continents than any other Racing series, making it the most legit World Championship which is something to boast about and therefore nice for marketing.

you do realize that the power form the hybrid unit is not constant... It's there only for very short periods. So for a first time out it won't make a big differance
