Rally2 based regulations would only make Rally2 a lot more expensive, less equal and less reliable. It is not a solution but a quick fix to WRC which would do more harm than good in a long run.

The video is nice but large part of it is taken from places where spectators shall not be allowed and therefore shound't be counted as spots for spectating.

Don't take that seriously. There is always a portion of stupid comments under in event discussion.

Not only. It is WAY cheaper to run the current cars than developing new ones. It's normal that they don't want to develop something new. On the other hand without that no new manufacturers will...

The problem with events like this is that while it is for sure great fun for the crews it is also rather boring to watch for the spectators. Still I think that at least one such event shall be on the...

The stock-based engine is becoming a disadvantage of Rally2 not an advantage. Less and less stock units are suitable for racing use and I'm quite sure that no other manufactruer will build a special...

Franceschi has been awesome so far this year. He can realistically win the title.

It's an EV. That gives the answer itself. Nobody sane would try to promote sales of an EV with a CE rallycar.

Sorry but that must have been a lot more. A crash with 17G is something like a hit into a lamp post during parking. When you play a header in football you achieve a lot more. Unfortunately most of...

As I wrote you in another thread* the simple problem with EVs in rallying is that at the current tech level they are not competitive at all and they won't be in forseenable future. The only way to...

Ionic 5 N has 84kWh battery. That means that if you use full power it's done in 7 minutes*.

It makes no sense to speak about these maximum power figures of stock EVs because those numbers make no...

In ralying you can't compensate weight with power. It's not drag racing. Heavy cars are slow in corners.

Fully electric COMPETITIVE rally car is impossible at 2024 tech level. You would need...

Exactly. I stated here plenty of times in the past that it's a million Dollar question however we can, at least, say what is not the future - and thirty years old model for regulations is definitely...

You can't base future regulations on something what is on the market today. You have to look ahead in the future. Otherwise you will have to come over and over again with some last minute mess. A...

Asking for new rules being based on a stock car in 2024 is completely ignorrant to the development in automotive. In the future even Rally2 and Rally3 rules will face troubles to find suitable base...

Hands up who guessed Tempestini would win ;)

Hatts off to Tempestini and Franceschi for their performance.

And now the RL suspension broke for Mareš as well (seemengly without hitting anything). It happened int he very last corner so he might be able to get to the rally finish.

Seems that Toyota's...

LR suspension of Sesks is broken.

Sesks hit something in the grass when spinning and is topped on the stage!

Heikkilä out :(

The rim spokes broke and after that the whole suspension as well.

He changed both the car and tyres (for Hankook) and it seems he is kind of lost in too many changes at the same time.

The stages in the opened areas are very nice for the live TV I have to say!

That doesn't make Rally2 rules in any way close to what gr.A rules were. Those are two completely different worlds.

Group A-like rules are useless in 2024. Actually that idea run out of steam already nearly 30 years ago.

Power to weight ratio doesn't bring otherwise different designes to the same level. That is total misconception completely ignoring other differencies such as drivetrain, suspension, aero, weight...

500 thousand Euro today equals only 375 thousand from 2011. There is an inflation.
