Watching how far the cars are from standard cars in series I start thinking Mirek wasn´t totally out with suggesting the NASCAR way of making the new WRC cars. It would be much more cheaper. You know what I mean.

Does anybody know what are 2017 homologation requirements in terms of produced cars? I seriously doubt Ford can be in time with the new stock car for January.
They can get around that, the Vesta WTCC car was also racing about half a year before the road-going Vestas went on sale.Quote:

Are You sure that WTCC rules require the same as WRC rules?Quote:

I know but it's still very different to get the homologation for a yet non-existent version of said serially produced car (with basically only different bumpers) or for a car which hasn't yet entered production at all.

Plan for the morning: open eyes, check @autosport.
Sounds like some big announcement/reveal coming... :)
Hyundai line-up is my guess
