Ares has no rally gravel experience but he was a KartCross champ before becoming a rally driver and he still competes in KC now and then.

Not a museum, but a top (visitable) collection on MSI state-of-the-art motorsport company, in Madrid. Hats off to founder and owner, Mr. Teo Martin.

The road legal thing isn't a issue; in Rally-Raids there are tubular chassis protos from all sizes and shapes and they're free to use open public roads on liasions. Besides, road homologation of a...

The debate was started in the 'Rally Bar' thread but it makes sense to bring it here: Should private tuners be allowed to homologate WRC cars in the future, once WRC cars will stop being based in...

Btw, besides Autohebdo and many other publications, Michel Hommell was also the founder of Echappement magazine; in the 90's he asked Echappement readers to define the general layout of a new French...

Clio Rally4 expected to be homologated in March. Tech details and a small testing video here: https://www.rallye-sport.fr/la-renault-clio-rally4-bientot-en-speciale/

It’s possible to have street legal protos, as it happens on Rally-Raid series (which also use open public roads as liaisons). Rally homologations are a manus monopoly because one of the established...

Spot on.

Once current manus were in favor of having full protos (without any link to the industrial production, apart a silhouette body) from 2022, what’s the reason to keep private tuners unable...

That could be the case. On the other hand, Rally3 was initially planned to use Rally4 engines (up to 1333cc) and the cc limit raise was apparently asked by some of the manus (including Toyota), not...

The first link is pro EV but the second it isn’t; they mostly quote German or French automotive sources (VDA, CCFA). The EU official document, with 3 options for future emissions standards (only...

The GR ‘4’ uses a 1.618cc engine (the 1.5L is on the 2WD GR); that’s why it’s easy to believe that Rally3 limit (1.620cc) was established with the Yaris...

Actually I believe Hybrids are the right choice for the WRC, once battery powered EVs (BEVs) aren’t ready for a proper Rally use (unless the WRC is suddenly transformed into a Mickey Mouse...

Time will tell, but Peugeot and Renault interest on Rally3 wasn’t confirmed. Renault is developing the Clio Rally4 and PSA Motorsport seems pretty busy making Peugeot and Opel Rally4 models for their...

Sports&You represent PSA Motorsport brands in Portugal and Spain, but the Rally Cup Ibérica is expected to remain only based on the 208.

A bit late but still in time to congratulate Armindo Aráujo, co-driver Luís Ramalho and The Racing Factory team for the 2020 CPR title and their main rivals, Bruno Magalhães/Carlos Magalhães (Hyundai...

If some Rally5 cars were close to Rally4’s they will be even closer with 2021 rules, as Rally5 won’t get a restrictor and will keep the same weight scale: 1030kg up to 927cc, 1080kg over.

Rally4...

Fingers crossed, but ICEs future can be at risk with the new Euro 7 emissions standards, which will be voted at the end of the year by EU’s parliament. Some say they will be so severe that manus...

Agree, but the one considering it less valuable was Ogier, when Evans was still the main favourite https://www.motorsport.com/wrc/news/ogier-2020-title-worth-less/4919034/

Sad for Evans; I was still waiting for a last minute surprise but eventually Ogier won another title (wonder if he'll now consider it as a less valuable one). Congrats to Hyundai and the other...

Nice to see real stages, for a change. With so many beautiful roads in the region, it's a shame they'll have to use Monza stages again tomorrow.

So far so good for Evans; big expectation on manus...

Interesting: BMW is also leaving FE. https://www.motorsport.com/formula-e/news/bmw-to-end-formula-e-programme-/4920008/?ic_source=home-page-widget&ic_medium=widget&ic_campaign=widget-6

No official...

We keep seeing brands, from all sectors, using personal stories of resilience from their sponsored athlete’s to promote their products; for sure rally drivers bravery can also have marketing value.

Yep, Monza is one of the most iconic racing circuits of the world; perfect for F1 and other racing series, but clearly not for the WRC.

Maybe you’ve been distracted but this forum is an open debate space and posts don’t need to strictly respect the thread title.

Anyway, once you’re mentioning it, probably what’s missing in this...

Those maily run on Rally roads, not in circuit tracks and its surroundings.
