They had Anonimo and then TW Steel. None of them produced a normal price watch normal people could buy. I never understood this.

Some interesting things there in the second part. Says the points system devalues the win, it was too extreme as there were simpler solutions and and there are other more important issues. He says Rally1 was a wrong move as it's too expensive with space frame and carbon panels, removing the hybrid wouldn't change much. Says rally2 is not the way but something inbetween that's fast but cheap should be the way forward.

Nothing Cyril says can justify that article title or attaching David's own Rally2 campaign to Hyundai.
With exactly the same of Cyril's words, you can craft a post titled HYUNDAI BACK RALLY1 FOR WRC 2025, because they say they are developing the current car under the current regulations and are not considering homologating a new one.
Sick of this.
EDIT: Article looks to be edited to a fairer write up.Last edited by WRCStan; 19th January 2024 at 18:33.

Yes, a good summary.
Interesting what he says about the high cost of using a spaceframe when some on here say it's cheaper than using a road car. Not in Rally1 it seems.
And something in between ?! Why are they discussing "Rally2" as the top class when the change would be to "Rally2 PLUS" ie. with a bigger restrictor and rear spoiler?

Carbon is definitely part of the high costs. Rally cars lose bits everywhere and carbon bits cannot be repaired on the cheap like plastic or metal ones.
Did Jan Solans get 3 points for his 8th place at the end of saturday? Wikipedia and WRC site shows he didn't, eWRC shows he did.
