Lancia Ypsilon Rally2 HF Integrale’s seven key areas of development
Lancia has highlighted seven areas where the Ypsilon Rally2 HF Integrale can make the difference:

1: Weight and balance, with significant mass reduction and a lower centre of gravity
2: Advanced aerodynamics, improving downforce and stability at high speed
3: Engine performance and drivability, featuring a turbo management system derived from the Peugeot 9X8 architecture and a new anti-lag system (ALS)
4: Transmission with revised gear ratios and differentials optimised for all surfaces.
5: Chassis and suspension fine-tuned to deliver class-leading performance on both Tarmac and gravel
6: Driver environment, redesigned for maximum ergonomics, comfort and concentration
7: Bodyshell and roll cage, entirely new to ensure superior rigidity and full FIA safety compliance

It is passport produced by FIA for each Rally2 car (also for WRC cars, I think offroad cars has it too etc.). It is passport which is mandatory for all WRC and ERC events and is unique for each car (which must have on bodyshell sticker with same number). Into this passport are noted all starts on WRC/ERC events and always there is also written exact specification of car (which jokers are used) and also software version.

No info about Jokers anymore, they stopped filling this in 2024.
Now also Gold Pass for Rally3/4/5 (and maybe 6), but only digital version. And only for newly produced/homologated cars, no retro-fitting.

Rich Millener said on the DF podcast that the Rally2 Fiesta is getting another upgrade. He sees it as still competitive for 2026.

Romet Jürgenson was testing the upgraded car at Greystoke.
