Hope not lol. Otherwise the lone pair of "R1" Toyotas will win every round.Quote:

Apparently it's impossible for new users to register here too which is a shame.
I'm thinking WRC27 wouldn't be production cars whereas Rally2 are derived from Group A homologated cars. Of course this would only work for a few years if Rally2 is to be replaced also by WRC27.Quote:

True. But I always saw everybody calling it "Rally1". Maybe "calling it" R1 is the next JAMQuote:

As an extra question, what happens to WRC2 in 2027? Maybe Rally3 becomes WRC2, which will confuse a few people, like when WRC3 was Rally2.
I can already see the PR team at FIA posting a "Class Restructuring" guide on social media with SuperRally, RallyLites and RallyJunior that nobody will understand or support lol.Quote:

Using R1 as shorthand for Rally1 is natural and only people who after all these years can't comprehend the change of class names get confused or worked up by this.Quote:
