WRC mainclass from 2027

I really really hope I am wrong, but I don't expect any more drivers in the mix. The current Rally1 drivers are (for the most part) in Rally1 for a reason. They will continue to be the best even in Rally2 machinery.

Additionally the factor money cannot be understated. You cannot compete with toyota as a private team or individual. They will optimize every screw in the car if need be.

What should get better though is new drivers adapting better to Rally1. The jump from Rally2 to 1 was just huge

WRC27 & Rally2 Cars wont be much different to those cars from 10 years ago.

Wrong guy, that's my video. That 2nd spot i filmed last year also, still quite a difference to rally2, you can feel the power being quite a bit higher, time difference maybe not so big. And the sound is so much better in the WRC

I am afraid that at least half of the current Rally1 drivers will have problems to be in top 5 or top 10 with Rally2 cars. And I am afraid that some of the older drivers will end their careers...
