but RX cars are +550hp
but what is the better alternative? they had been in conversations for the whole year. nobody is interested. should they just bring an improved rally1 for 2027 so then toyota could run 3 cars all alone? i honestly dont see other option. hyundai is leaving, ford left, citroen left, vw left, privateers cant compete, smaller teams dont have the bugdet, msport itself cant even hire a driver. what else they can do? what is the better alternative in your view?Quote:

Assuming they stay in WRC, Hyundai and M-Sport both need new Rally2 cars as their i20N and Fiesta are now old (and road cars not built). So they will be ok to make a spaceframe car for whichever new model they are selling.
But what about Toyota with the 2024 Rally2 GR Yaris ? Maybe they could just tweak this and run it, as it'll still be quite modern and well-developed by 2027.
There will be also new regulations for Rally2. Nobody will work on development of current cars (or only very small updates) and will focus on new regulations...Quote:

so many doubts yet! will more car makers allow (does it need homologations???) their cars to be build by independent entries?
cuz i cant build a random aerokit and ride thru the streets between stages, right? i also cannot brand my space frame car as a "mitsubishi eclipse" withouth autorizathion, eh? also... will hyundai throw hayden's paddon ev kit inside a space frame, call it a IONIQ5 and win some races? will national series allow these cars? cuz i want to see SEAT making some of these cars for the spanish championship and also entering them in erc and wrc spanish rounds!
good, im excited! haha
I hope this calls Subaru USA to enter.
