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.

It was on qualifying stage, he rolled the car and it was said that he won't be able to start the rally. But team managed to repair the car and he did start and dominated drivers like Rossel, Gryazin...
