Lancia launched the Ypsilon Rally4 today, don’t know how far they’ll go and if they have plans to develop a Rally2 and then later a Rally1, guess everything now rests on the regulations that hopefully will (& need) to come before the end of this year for 2027.
Stellantis will probably rebody the C3 Rally 2s into Ypsilons, as this Rally 4 is pretty much a restyled 208 Rally 4.
Latvala on the Katsuta decision...

He could always copy MSport & give him a year in the British (or Finnish) Championship to reset!Quote:

The car did prove that it's quite good and can challenge Skoda. And yet boost marketing for that car, and Toyota as a whole. If he could clinch a WRC2 title it would be something too for Japan. Because realisticaly he probably will never get WRC title, maybe just 1 or few rally wins.Quote:

“[Ford is] exactly like myself, they want to stay in rally. There’s a big commitment now to Dakar. There’s no question Ford is moving more to the off-road world.
"So, yeah, there’s definitely a desire, but at the end of the day, it’s about return on investment and that’s the big target at the moment."
This is a copy paste talk from Wilson from past years.
Well Ford will probably decide what they will do from 2027 onwards. If the regs will suit them, they will commit fully, if not they will take out that little they give to the M-Sport.Quote:
