Let's say they would incorporate an electric anti-lag system and maybe something that gathers energy back from braking. Not saying this is viable or possible but let's keep that as an example. Now they have hybrid technology but the cars are still quite a lot like they are now. The manufacturers can now label their cars hybrid like "Toyota Yaris Hybrid WRC" etc. Everyone's happy?

It seems the organizers have to give away tickets for free, so that anybody comes to watch it

I don't think it's inevitable that WRC goes full electric, but it is inevitable that it's not petrol-only like now. And that has to happen already with 2021/2022 rules.
The marketing and sponsor structure of F1 is very different than WRC. F1 is about "being the best" with less relevance to everyday use. WRC is seemingly "normal" cars on "normal" roads.

The WRC will go full electric when the market goes full electric, assuming it lasts that long. As one of those people nostalgic for Group A and the last gasp of endurance events they competed in I really want relevance between competition cars and what I can reasonably buy for myself. Hybrids make sense and frankly I wouldn't mind an electric class as well.
No better way to make sure they'll be built to handle all conditions.

whoever considers that the future of main motorsports is electric and other shit is stupid... ok its not a big surprise since most motorsport fans are uneducated trash so its normal.
But motorsports is a way of advertising to the public, if there is not a following then there will be no motorsport, and NONE will ever pay a ticket to see electric garbage and NONE will pay for a TV subscription.
So please contain you retardation and try and have a common sense look to the whole situation.
i understand that your stupidity does not let you see through the new trend of climate change cult but at the end of the day motorsports are there to make money (directly or indirectly) so there is not way in the next 20 years to see electric garbage taking the main stage... we might see some stupid shit like that KERS system but other than that petrol will move motorsports in the immediate future.

You're a 100% right. FIA should rattle the manufacturer's cage. Take the compromise or go. Rally 1s are dead in the water. If manufacturers don't agree, make Rally 2s as they are now the top category...
