It could be a trick of the camera angles but that looks a lot more exciting than the idea of a 4WD car with the same power and torque but more weight than a Rally4 car suggests. I’m looking forward to seeing some of these compete

Jari-Matti Latvala has passed his baptism of fire as the new Toyota team boss. In Monte Carlo, Sebastien Ogier and Elfyn Evans gave their new boss a double victory at the start. "A great result to start the season," said the Finn happily.
But from now on Latvala is not only responsible for continuing the successful work of his predecessor Tommi Mäkinen in the World Rally Championship, as an enthusiastic rally driver and owner of a historic Toyota Celica, he also wants to ensure that the brand also celebrates successes in other classes in the future . The focus is on the newly created Rally3 category.
"The way I see it, the new Rally3 seems to be the more interesting category than the Rally2 and could build on the success of the near-series Group N," Latvala told Motorsport aktuell.
So far, only M-Sport has presented a corresponding model. The 99,999 euros (plus VAT) Ford Fiesta Rally3 is powered by a 1.5 liter turbo three-cylinder with 215 hp and 400 Nm torque, which comes from the Fiesta ST road vehicle. The power is portioned by a sequential five-speed gearbox. With these ingredients, the 1,210 kilo all-wheel drive accelerates to 100 km / h in five seconds.
After the WRC of Rally3?
Latvala has also taken a closer look at the Fiesta Rally3 and will be watching carefully how M-Sport's order books fill up. “With the GR Yaris, Toyota has the perfect basis for a high-performance customer sport model,” says Latvala, who can well imagine being active in this category as well. “But right now we have to concentrate on developing the 2022 World Rally Car with hybrid. But we still have an eye on customer racing. Either way, something could happen by 2023. "

Jon Armstrong was VERY positive about the Fiesta Rally3.

Yes, there was video crew, but don't expect anything more than what you saw before. Gravel stage was same like on Kajetanowicz video from few day ago, tarmac section was not that special and customers drove, so really nobody was pushing hard.
Yesterday Chris Ingram posted he was doing a shakedown of the Polo R5 so it seems he's continuing in that car for the Jim Clark. https://www.instagram.com/reel/C7OEfYKoYV1/?igsh=czZzYzB1dm9zeHd4 ...
