    It is interesting to see that for most in charge full electric is not a viable option neither will be in the medium term, however it is also interesting to see some, specially Nandan, considering other types of alternatives other than electric.
    BTCC also to go hybrid with an additional unit alongside the current engines...

    It sounds like a mild hybrid system using a 48v electric supercharger, like Valeo’s e4Boost: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DtJr2LHgLhI

    Good timing by Citroen after disappointing Rally Finland for Ogier and better speed shown by the C3 WRC ...

    Kankkunen fell into the same trap after 1000 Lakes '89, so why not Ogier...

    Ogier risks chasing things, while his best days are maybe past him.

    Not really the same...Kankkunen went to the team which was a 3 time champion and left a team whose car failed to finish rallies, but would get the issues solved for the following year.
