    But, with the right driver, some of them can blend in. And the best, more cars at the startlist! But it is some running costs...

    It's annoying that they will reduce the restrictor size, though. That will surely hurt their chances of blending in.

    Yeah, but i understand them if the new Rally1 hybrid is slower than todays cars.
    That would be "interresting" to say it nice

    Rally1 will have same engine as current WRC, but there's compromises on the suspension, transmission and aero, so it's very likely that the cars will be slower.

    The whole concept is going to be different with tubular frame and body scaling allowed.. It's not just "add hybrid on the current cars and change the name to Rally1". If WRC had been named "4WD Turbo Kit Car" in 1997, it would make now more sense. Some people seem to think it's analogous with World Rally Championship, and the top class should always be WRC (as if it had been always like this!). Yesterday someone blocked me on twitter when I tried to explain this....

    Anyone knows how much the suspension travel will be limited to? And will they limit wheel travel or damper travel?

    Would love to see that...., and I doubt any of us would be shocked if he stayed full time

    I think there is a calendar element here.
    Ogier definitely likes this years calendar with the large number of tarmac events and low number of slow+cleaning gravel events.

    So what he does next year might be also decided by what events are going to be run.

    I think it's down to whether he wants to win another title or not. If not, he can just choose the nice events and not worry about sweeping in any rally. He could even enjoy the technical gravel rallies now that he wouldn't be sweeping.
