For me, on this level I dont think it can properly work cooperation of two organisers from two different countries. And with three countries...

Serderidis will drive a Puma in Kenya and Acropolis, with 2 local rally's in Belgium as well. He will do some rally's in Greece as well, but not clear if that will be with a Puma

-New cars means the season is a big unknown but still expects to be amongst the fastest in the end and be fighting for victories. First few rallies everything will be new to everybody.
-Admits the car development was late but they have caught up, says the car was not developed around just himself or Tanak, but both were involved in all decisions together
-Old cars advantage was that the centre diff could accept each driver's style
-Talks how the hybrid system works all the time a little bit and gives a boost after enough braking. Might not want the full power on every rally.
-Stumbles on how to describe what life without a team principal is like, but not worried.
I think so anyway, I don't understand French.

Unless we go full electric I don't think more than 4 manufacturers is possible in this day and age.
The championship isn't popular enough to accommodate more imo. You saw with Citroen that unless there's a realistic chance to win, then it'll be a no-go for manufacturers (besides Msport).
That's why I hope Hyundai haven't fucked themselves with the late development of this rally1 car, because they will walk if they have a fundamentally flawed car. Tanak and Neuville at least sound optimistic though, so fingers crossed.
You could argue Toyota are only even in the championship because of the love the president has for the sport.

Not 100% the topic, but Toyota also nailed it with the Yaris GR. Small, 4wd hot hatch. I20N is also a cool small hot hatch, but can't compete with more powerful and 4wd GR, which has sold a lot..
Nice interview with Loubet ...
