Honestly they shouldn't have signed the deal last year & this way we’d go back to ‘normal’ cars for ‘25 & ‘26, would’ve made things a little less complicated with all the infrastructure and so on ( not talking about the fact it would lessen the difficulty of moving from rally2 to rally1 for drivers).
Only you know your true potential.

It's official !
Rally1 regulations will remain in place until the end of the 2026 WRC season, with hybrid power retained and Rally2-plus proposals abandoned.

WRC - the sick man of motorsport, and doesn't wish to change. Marvellous.....

The point is that now it's already quite late to talk about 2027 regs.
Whatever earlier change would be completely meaningless because it could not bring new manufacturers anyway.Stupid is as stupid does. Forrest Gump

I guess we could all see it coming but I'm honestly annoyed at this point that they a) haven't even mentioned anything about the 2027 regulations this time round (& I don't think even they know what they'll do) and b) we got no mention about the new sprint format they're looking to implement next year. Also, no calendar for 2025? what the hell??

Apparently they are on it...
"one of the key points that seems to have been lost in all of this is the work, the potential framework which has been provided for 2027. People have become so focused on next year, they’ve missed the real story which is the variety of options and potential manufacturer engagement in 2027.
“EV (Electric Vehicle), ICE (Internal Combustion Engine) with sustainable fuel, hydrogen, and possible mix of all of the above via balance of performance… everything is on the table. We know Alpine wanted EV for the WRC, but we know Subaru might not be so keen – this resolution potentially offers opportunity across the board.”
DirtFish understands the 2027 regulations, which will be based on the retention of the current Rally1 safety cell chassis, will be coming quickly, with further investigation in the coming weeks."

I have never been more pessimistic about the future of wrc. Manus will hold wrc hostage for a couple more years till one quits and then its over

Maybe. But I'm sure he'd prefer to keep Fourmaux and be more competitive in WRC next year than be starting over again with another young driver...
