Obviously the fuel that the rally cars consume are only a small part of the carbon footprint of the WRC, but also the most visible one. It's more of a symbolic decision, and also possibly something that is in the interest of the manufacturers?

More "green-washing" ...

Yes. My original post was complaining about that but I deleted cuz I dont want to be like that anymore... I mean. Im all pro all-electric (and autonomous) public transportation (cars, bikes, bus, trucks....) using only renewables to generate the power and etc.... But we KNOW that "We cant save the environment because we are the ones destroying it". You cant save the planet by PRODUCING MORe and more. "Lets save the planet! How? Well...by producing 10 electric SUVs to have a new racing championship".
This is BS. We produce 50bi tons of shit into our atmosphere every year when we should be producing zero... So, Im not buying into nothing FIA is doing. But Im trying to be more neutral.
Will it keep WRC alive? Yes! So fine, bring it.

The key is "net" emission. Basically when production consumes less CO2, even with same emission, you can say that net is lower. Marketing guys are happy, everybody are happy

And even then, you cant be "zero emission" because you travel to the events. And the event itself has fans traveling to the circuits. And the new parts of the cars have to be produced... etc.

Again.. Im 100% into these things and I appreciate the effort... I just dont like the FACT that its all a lie and they keep pushing that lie.

There was an electric dirt bike manufacturer called Alta Motors (I think Harley bought them?) and I loved the fact that they were so honest: "Im not doing this for the environment. We are doing eDirt bikes because 1) the performance. 2) we are a startup so I want some big brand to buy our know-how for me to get richier."

Perfect! haha

With hybrid Rally1 cars now up and running, what can we expect from the next generation? How will they stack up against the outgoing #WRC cars?
