Lancia has from what I can see one - 1 car in their portfolio, this;
https://www.lancia.com/ypsilon-collections

even with one new car made for rallying, not man cars will get sold.

lancia plan is to launch brand new vehicles every 2 years from 2024 on. a new ypsilon, a new suv, the new delta. also revamp the hf brand for sport sector.

Quite strange from Citroen to withdraw from Rally2 whereas their program is going well and now competing with Skoda. They could keep a joint program with PH Sport as Skoda does with Toksport.

If another brand from Stellantis comes, most logical would be either Opel as they are improving in Rally (+ some experience with e-rally) or Lancia (if Stellantis wants to make it their equivalent of Alpine)

One from the ROK family, that are spamming this forum, is out driving rally this weekend.

Turk Rok does well!

as said: 2024 will come new "Ypsilon" which is "same" car than C3/Corsa/208 so perfectly suitable size for rallying. I don't care which brand Stellantis chooses, I just hope that come/stay in rallying.

*Pirelli getting unfair criticism in Portugal, roads worse than Turkey.
*Heat in the car, what they can do about it, the Rally1 build,

Neat brief pre-rally vid IMO, caught the one with Gus last time out too. Both drivers more relaxed than usual media.

I started wondering, what was the reason behind removing paddle shifts in Rally1 this year?

Cost saving measures.

I don't think it is possible to consume as much pills as the Rok gang is pushing here.

Two random question for you, fellas.
1- Does any of you follow the SCORE championship from america? The "Baja" race's Trophy Trucks.
2- Do you think Having Dakar's Lightweight and SSV (t3 and t4) cars in a WRC class would be a good thing? Not sure if they actually sell products in europe as they do in america, for example.
