There was an article about Toyota and their return to WRC in Racecar Engineer a few months ago. Basically they have an engine in development, and the return is a few years away, it went as far as saying 'at the next technical regulations in 2016/17. Toyota eont come in under the existing rules, it may be me misreading things but it hinted at some form of new engine / hybrid.
Who writes the WRC Tweets?

I can well believe that. They, Toyota are into the hybrids in a big way - WRC seems to have been left behind, whereas they seem to be all the rage in the WEC, with flywheels, capacitors used. Could it be the hybrid/ electric is used on the road sections?Quote:

If You want to make WRC much more expensive and much harder to maintain by private teams go for hybrids...Quote:

Exactly!! New technology is expensive. I understand ‘road relevance’ in Motorsport – but I wonder if that should be left to F1/ Sportscars.......
Let WRC try and put on a fantastic show – which at the moment it’s not quite doing.
Hybrids may be OK in circuits, including LeMans, but I wouldnt want to be in a crash in a stage withh all that stored electrical energy and fire risks. KERS runs very hot, imagine going off the road and have a KERS fire. No thanks.Quote:
