You guys also need to remember that WRC is not a closed environment and the WRC rules are not the only reason manufacturer or spectator interest changes in some direction. The world around WRC changes as well.
I wish to know . if the 2022 car with hybrid unit drive like the f1 car with kers??
release the extra power for ten seconds and then start to recharge to release again .is that the mode??
Yes, it appears to be a Kers type system. Here is the only explanation of its planned operation I have read. https://www.wrc.com/en/news/2021/wrc...inable-future/
Martin Järveoja gave an interview to Estonian media after Greece and they (didn't understand if Hyundai or all teams) are arguing/in discussions with the FIA about the co-driver's seat position which is unnatural and uncomfortable and if FIA would accept changes then also it would be more safe in Järveoja's opinion.
General question was that if they have been already testing the new hybrid and he said that there has been some km's of testing but the end of the season will be very busy as the cars have to be ready in January.
Great write-up of the latest hybrid WRC info by WRC Wings:

Quote:
“The fact is that we are testing for sure, it’s not a matter of if we are not testing, but it’s also true we don’t have many things to show,” Adamo admitted.
“The bodywork and the other things are not really representative of anything, we prefer to stay a bit hidden.
“I really think that we can get something ready to show in November.
Makes sense as the current "mule" bodywork aero is kind of non-existing.
It could be a double bluff by Adamo re the bodywork. As WRC Wings points out, the hybrid power boost could make having a low-drag car a bigger benefit.
