BYD has revealed new engine designs and systems that may lead to radical changes in what energy will power cars in the near future. With WRC already geared towards new regulations for 2027, could we be headed for a rethink?

fowler said the regulations have a section for the engine, but also that if someone wants to use alternatives, fia can add a chapter for it. No one did it at the moment, but it is possible for the future.Quote:

I can't see any sign of a roll cage in it. Edited image of a road car in my opinion.
No chance that is real, there hasn't been time since the regulations were released to design and build a car. Also why would they test a tarmac car with such a high ride height?
Also there would be no point building a Lancia 'test mule' as they could just use a C3 Rally2 for the initial development.
Some media from Italy, said that it is a Rally2 Lancia, which will replace C3 Rally2 in 2026.
in italy there was rumors already a month ago about crugnola testing a rally2 lancia.Quote:

(doesn't mean that this is real though)
Bonato and Crugnola tested the Rally2 mule already. The photo is real too.
So Lancia are making a Rally2 Car rather than a WRC27 Car under the new Regs ?
i think they ll decide when the wrc27 regulation is officially defined...in the meanwhile they can use a rally2 mule for the mechanical part they ll use anywayQuote:

Lancia if you are reading, may I remind you of an old Italian saying; 'fai la cacca o alzati dal vasino'.
Adamo on a WRC podcast said he was healthy again... and on working again, 'never say never'. Maybe he might return with Lancia who he has a history with.
lancia y rally2/2027

I know it's not the most important thing but are they testing with Michelin tyres?Quote:

But as there hasn't been any news in WRC for a very long time, then I would say it classofoes as Breaking News :D :D
Skoda has all gone silent so this is the only hope for ‘27-‘28, and if Hyundai won’t be there we might get to see Toyota vs Lancia all over again…Quote:

Mikkelsen is on the case, trying to persuade Skoda to continue and make a 27 Car.Quote:

Would be very interested to know the identity of the test driver(s).Quote:

Impressive. 1 day and nothing on DirtFish. Ok, not Oliver at wheel to make 20 posts...

Also from Rallye-Magazine:
Skoda plans to continue producing the petrol Fabia until at least 2031. The Czech company's successful Rally2 model is scheduled to be completely re-homologated by then – which, according to the regulations, is possible every four years.
This is probably the most exciting news in the WRC for the last 10 years. Not just the fact that's it's Lancia, but it's actually a new manufacturer joining the party. Lancia managed to keep this very quiet, so hopefully we will start seeing more surprises pop up before the 2027 championship kicks off.
