World level Luxemburger sports men and women, who are they when more famous to their sport than Munster to Rallying?

:D

Will probably sell about as many as SsangYong unless they start advertising.

BYD are as popular as, or more so, Polestar now, and GWM have also set up shop with their Ora cars. And not forgetting...

No manufacturers = no top drivers driving with impunity.

Manufacturers pay megatronic money to be in WRC and don't want to be outshone by somebody riding the tail of their investment.

I'm not sure there are professionals in ERC in the similar regard.

This, Toni, was one of the most classy replies I have read on the internet for a long time. Best wishes to you.

Chinese do not do branding well due to having no intellectual property laws, and consumption does not form the basis of the Chinese economy. 100 car brands, but they are all needed to be cheap and...

Some national governments have their own layer of stronger restrictions, and some outside the EU such as UK and Norway have strong restrictions in place already that affect design, production and...

It's not fair to blame the manufacturers for what governments are forcing them to do.

BTW, everybody here wants more manufacturers in WRC yet many unhappy to see doors being opened to them... it's...

I've not looked at the documents but is there confusion with snow and ice? To me, a 'snow tyre' belongs at Rally Sweden in 'gravel' spec.

At 36 > 35mm restrictor it could be something like 360 hp at 1180 kg = 3.27 kg/hp. Hybrid car would be 380 hp at 1260 kg = 3.32 kg/hp. For comparison, Rally2 is at 289 hp at 1230 kg = 4.25 kg/hp.

The promotor should not be bowing to the half-half-assed attempts from a fragment of Stellantis.

All the noise is precisely what they want for building their profile.

They are professional rally drivers, it's odd you have a problem with them driving in rallies. I rather you don't try to justify to me why you said that, just try explain it privately to yourself.

If you understand that, how will this affect tactics for the better spirit of the sport?

It was said here recently, that TCR is a private regulation licensed to the FIA. This TCL looks to make cars more usable, but is probably done for the racing industry at local level rather than...

This must be an AI rehash using some extra clickable buzzwords, of a press release from May - https://global.toyota/en/newsroom/corporate/40849748.html

"The liquid hydrogen-powered engine...

"Toyota bids farewell to hydrogen combustion" ... What is this instead?

"Most [problems] have to do with having to keep liquid nitrogen extremely cold (below -253°C) so that it doesn’t vaporize."...

Authorisation, yes.

FIA Rally2-5, there's multiple steps of homologation. First, a mass-manufacturer has to be producing a touring car in enough numbers, currently 2500 identical cars in the year...

Small note fwiw, the Iriz was FIA homologated by Proton of Malaysia.

:?:

It is correct, that if that happens I will be very surprised.

What might not be correct is my belief behind that, that it's more like a draft than a market.

I'd be very surprised if any drivers are getting multi-year deals.

Just as long as you're not in the "Rally2 with privateers as top class" camp.

It can be a real threat but saying what you would do about it is only pretend, unless, somebody here actually spends the money and does what they said. I don't think that's happening.

You are right that what you enjoy is what you enjoy, that is fair, and am happy you answered.

However, there are many great rallies happening across Europe most weekends of the year that could be...
