"The next set of WRC regulations, streamlined for 2027, are set to leave propulsion options open to manufacturers, so there will be no requirement to run a hybrid unit."
Reid: "The automotive industry hasn’t kind of worked out where it’s going and we feel the best option is to have something that, you know, a manufacturer can come along and they have the freedom to adopt what they want. So I think for me that’s very positive,”.
WHAT? did i missed the news where they announced this?
(im still not confident this will atract manufacturers, tbh)

'manufacturers want SUVs, hybrid, evs, hydrogen"
last week Toyota announced its entering V8Supercars with a GR Supra. the road car is sold with a 6Cyl 3L engine, but naaah, they will compete with a V8 (the championship allows 6 and 4 cyl cars). obviously is not an actual FACTORY team like in wec, wrc but they seemed super happy about joining the championship - without hybrids, hydrogen, SUV or ev
sorry for the random rant

I think Toyota is the most diverse of all brands. They offer practicaly everything and cover all the people wishes (and we know every person wants different things). It's a fact that they are top 1 for many years now. While literally all others follow the agenda and keep punching themselfes in the faces with all those "only EVs and SUVs".

There it goes again.
Here in Norway the type of people that switched to EVs in large numbers as one of the first groups were BMW5/Audi A6 drivers that switched to Model S cause it accelerated much faster (for the same amount of money), and was more "cool and new" tech. Later same type of people switched to Porsche Taycan. Next type was BMW3 drivers that switched to Model 3 Performance, Polestar 2 performance or lately BMW i4/ Ioniq 5 N/ EV6 GT.
Similarly, before that you would get people switching from Volvo diesel to T8 plug-in hybrid partly because of much more power.
Neither of these are "green people at bike shows."
But off course there would be much fewer switching if the EV or hybrid was much more expensive. Which is why manus wanted to promote Hybrids/EVs to people that actually are likely to spend more money on a car. "Green people at bike shows" won't.

You're putting too much on a glorified reality show. Going by DTS, Abiteboul is a clueless clown...
