Hybrid seems the way to go for me. Bit of best of both worlds, petrolheads (like me) have sound and notice, which in my opinion is one of the key elements of the whole rally feeling.
Rally's can keep there current length which is also a must, the endurance element can be used for marketing to. If let's say Toyota gets a 1 and 2 result in safari, it proves there car is fast, strong and reliable.
Also the "eco" lovers will be satisfied.
To keep costs down there should be a simple hybrid system, so that manufacturers cant/don't start a expensive race for that. Strict rules or one system provided by one company.
Tube chassis seems like a good idea to me also.
To be honest, in real life I think there should be a balance also. In city's the logic thing is full electric, that's clear. But outside of those city's it AL depends on ho is driving, and why. Hybrid for most of us I think, and long distance drivers and heavy machinery should be last Gen diesel.

Even though I consider buying a hybrid as my next car as well I do not actually agree. Hybrids are extremely technically complicated. While I repeat again and again that the complete electrification is not prepared I do agree that pure EVs are much simpler and potentially less expensive cars. Hybrids are just a half-way something which is totally overcomplicated.

Hybrids don't necessarily need batteries (for example Toyota in Le Mans didn't use batteries - but that depends on how the rules are set) and even if they do those are much smaller than for pure EV.
Petrol is much smaller issue for extinguishing than batteries. Period.Stupid is as stupid does. Forrest Gump

Volkswagen will withdraw its factory backing of any programme using an internal combustion engine at the end of this year, as it looks to an electrified future.

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...
