Granted, I can't be bothered any more what Lancia and Alfa are "planning" to bring to the market, but as far as I know they want to make Lancia a EV brand for people who don't care about Lancia and never heard of it. So it does sound strange that they would enter as I thought the new Ypsilon won't be getting any ICE. But since it is now Stelantis with a good motorsport department I can take this more seriously. Still I believe it when I see it.

Lancia is already a brand for people who don't care about Lancia, since almost a decade they only sell the Ypsilon only in Italy, where it's considered quite a girly car (it's presented as "the classy city car", in their own words). But since Lancia is a puppet company anyway, maybe someone from Stellantis want to dress the puppet up with a racing suit to reminish the past? I also find it hard to believe, but who knows...Quote:

As both him and Solberg want the title they have to drive together :D
When im reading all these posts about Rally2 drivers, cancellation of Rally1 makes bigger and bigger sense to me. Rally1 are amazing cars, but the lack of competition is just heartbreaking
Bouffier's livery for Monte has been revealed. It's another black Toyota:

new Lancia, looks ok, seems fine for Rally2
208 in disguise, hopefully won't be (too) long before we see a rally variation of it.Quote:

Two more photos can be found below. Official presentation of the new Lancia is planned on February 14.

Very euro-centric calendar this year, nothing in Australasia, no Mexico, no Argentina..
Apparently Martins Sesks (2nd in ERC 2023) was testing Toyota Yaris GR Rally 2 yesterday. Pictures here - https://rallirinki.kuvat.fi/kuvat/Se...4/3O9A4055.jpg
So maybe some starts in WRC planned in 2024, who knows. I am sure we will see Sesks in WRC Latvia 2024, but car and class is unknown.
Chris Ingram's 2024 livery revealed today in Monaco...

^^ That’s simple but very nice.
Would be good to see. Sesks is a very impressive driver on fast loose-surface events.Quote:
