They are just waiting as everyone else regarding the future, promoter and if the new regulations will be successful. If don't they still could do a new Rally2 car.

I wouldn't say waiting, I think MW is rightfully avoiding any possibility of conflict of interest claims while having a plan in the background.
There's no chance of a new Rally2 car in 2028... it'll be a spaceframe chassis with an OEMs road car design, or M-Sports own.Quote:

I think Pluto said that 2026 is the last year when it's possible to homologate a Rally2, is that right?Quote:

If they fail then there won't be a WRC and the sport becomes for historics, tuners and amateurs anyway.Quote:

I dont think this necessarily confirms they will build a WRC27 spaceframe car.Quote:

Idk how much reliable is Google translate, but
"We are working on the project to prepare for WRC 27, a development step that interests us"
doesn't sound like they are talking about next season. I'm pretty sure plans for next year are already far beyond the "working on the project to prepare for" phase.
Maybe.Quote:

Their car is homologated until 2032, so that's a lot of years for competing with that car. Also if WRC27 fails, which I'm still somehow convinced it will (no matter if we got 2 new teams in the championship), that car would be valid I think for further years.
GRIT Games will be wrc's game developer in 2027 (up until 2032?)
