If true this is potentially catastrophic news for the WRC.

Kinda OFF TOPIC but FIA released its plans for a new FIA GT series with only electric supercars.
It seems teams will have more freedom in building 2wd or 4wd and they can sorta "change somethings" in the batteries to fit their cars AND they will have this fast charge for longer races (no further infos on how long its going to take to charge them tho. 2min? 5min? 10min?).
So now we have Formula-e, Moto-e, extreme-e, eTCR, eGT, eRX.... covering basically all areas (f1, motogp, 'rally'/rallycross, touring, gts...) and I expect Motocrss to have eBikes in just a few years.
They are really pushing evs into world championships, eh?

If the hybrid cars for WRC go ahead in 2022, should the manufacturers/ FIA allow Rally 2/ R5 cars to be able to score WRC manufacturers points if all the hybrids breakdown? Certainly it might encourage Toyota to push through with the homologation of a Rally 2 GR Yaris.

Beyond petrol hybrid could be hydrogen. Though Formula E developments are looking to 30 second recharges.
Group H Rally?(Hyundai and Toyota have production hydrogen vehicles)

That makes no sense. You can't replace one car which is late with another non existing one (for Toyota) especially when the first proper update for Rally2 is allowed only after three years of service. Rushed homologation of a Rally2 car is a complete suicide because it can not be fixed.

Almost all Finn's since Paavo Nurmi who are fast in their sport have been called "Flying", particularly the 1960's rally drivers, but I was actually thinking of "Flying Finnish" - the timing line at...
