Very interesting interview with Timo Rautiainen about the future of WRC. Cannot translate everything but here's some key points
- they consider setting up a series for private WRC teams, who wouldn't have to do all the rounds
- the 2022 rules are likely not to be ready by the end of this month. Teams have agreed with the big guidelines though.
- electric power will be used on city liaison sections, not on special stages
- hybrid power line offers from manufacturers have come in, but they are not comparable with each other, so they need to be adjusted
- if too many WRC teams drop, WRC2 will be made the main series. Rautiainen does not see this likely to happen.
- Rautiainen agrees that costs should be brought down, and no more rallies should be added to calendar
- Many car makers have shown interest in joining the series.
