Maybe.

But it seems they're putting a lot of work into the Rally2 car only to ditch it and spend considerably more developing a WRC27 spaceframe car.

Their car is homologated until 2032, so that's a lot of years for competing with that car. Also if WRC27 fails, which I'm still somehow convinced it will (no matter if we got 2 new teams in the championship), that car would be valid I think for further years.

GRIT Games will be wrc's game developer in 2027 (up until 2032?)

we have the cars, the game... just lacking the promoter

During my time in the service park here, I heard a few things, one is that they’re still finalising the regulations for next year and two is they’re also thinking of reducing the power of the rally2 machines from 2027 onwards. One more thing, apparently the New rally1 machines won’t have a global racing engine anymore but a detuned rally2 engine, sorry if the last bit isn’t news but I asked since I wasn’t sure of it.

Are they nuts? Such a morons still scratching their heads over regulations. No wonder M-Sport and Hyundai isn't interested until the thing will be clear. More and more I wonder if they actually want to kill the WRC and blame everyone except them.

Want to kill? They have done it already.

And this is no news, that’s why Toyota is also testing with the weird rear wing cause they don’t know the final solution.

Unbelievable that we have this situation in 2026 in May.

This would have been understandable maybe in the 80s

this sounds absolutely insane, 36mm restrictor for new Rally 1 and 2,5bar max pressure all that`s needed

Completely agree. So angry because there could be simple thing to do until they have clear vision and rules set to the stone (and promoter). No they keep digging the grave more and more and simply doesn't see that the whole thing will not be ready.. fucked up big this time (sorry for language, but total idiots, if you ask me)

Does anyone have any idea why there’s so much indecisiveness from the rule makers? Is it just total cluelessness about what to do, or are some parties pushing their own agenda?

Mark my words, the whole thing will be dead on arrival once we have a new promoter with, hopefully, better ideas
