I could see a Rally2 Hybrid side class being created for manu teams and WRC2 primarly, with privateers and national championships run with old cars.

I can't, that'd threaten the existence of an already too fragile Rally1 whilst not serving the manufacturer unless they subscribed to the same costs anyway, something Skoda don't want to do either - but at least they have Rally2 sales, which would have to have hybrid forced onto the customer, which would only work if it's cheap, reliable, free IP... can't see it.
It might be coming to Rally1 soon though lol.

Are they still building new chassis of the old car? I thought they stopped that some time ago.
I still can’t agree on the logic with not running the new car. Apart from the promotion issue, I would have thought it would be quite useful for them to see how it performs on a real rally ahead of next season starting, instead of it just sitting around gathering dust for another few months.

They do not, because
- Cars will be more costly to buy
- Cars will be more advanced and harder and more costly to maintain.
- It takes time to get a good 2. hand market for people to start. Today you can buy an old Fabia R5 and fight in the top, in national series. Would be stupid from FIA to kill off the most successful carclass they have.

I'm not sure hybrid in rally cars does much at all for selling road cars, even with the Rally1's. Putting it in Rally2's would have little effect for the promotion of it on the road models which have been around for years already.
If anyone takes anything from rallying to decide their purchase its probably sportiness, toughness and reliability.

Toyota has tested their new Rally2 car last week, but it's still all officially a secret.

Solberg to Toyota would surprise me a lot, what would happen to Pajari in that case?
