Rally1 hybrid cars (2022-)
I suggest we add a a new topic for these cars.
A summary of the rules
- Same engine as in the 2017-2021 WRC cars
- 5-speed gearbox, no paddle shift
- No active centre diff
- Aero and suspension is reduced from the 2017-2021 WRC cars
- Hybrid unit can provide up to 100BHP boost on stages (rumoredly only at stage starts and slow corner exits)
- Electric motor is used on service parks and city liaisons
- Electric battery can be charged during liaisons through motor braking
- Tubular frame and scaling of the car body is allowed
M-Sport has already started testing

Toyota told rallit.fi they start the hybrid unit test with the old Yaris and it won't be until summer that they get their Yaris GR Rally1 car tested.
Hyundai still says no green light from the company but reportedly work is being done inside the team hq.

What size of restrictor will be used? I mean if they had the same as now and add the 100 Hp electric motor they would be at 500 Hp peak...
The growth in torque will be even bigger which will require a lot stronger transmission.Stupid is as stupid does. Forrest Gump

It all seems like a downgrade...

No active centre diff is a really good. I remember 2011 - 2017 and the sideways action was very nice. Todays cars are bit sterile in this matter.

But that sword also has two sides.
If cornering speeds, due to aero, go up and up, then suddenly we will have ugly accidents again, from drivers not mastering this, or just doing a mistake.
There is a safety side to this as well.

you do realize that the power form the hybrid unit is not constant... It's there only for very short periods. So for a first time out it won't make a big differance
