    WRC mainclass from 2027

    We know new rules come from 2027, so, better to start a new topic than keep up with the old one i think.
    This tread is for dreamers and fans, not people that think we actually can make an impact on FIA

    My guess:

    Safetycell
    Free engine ( with bop)
    Less aero
    Opening for teams with support from a manufacturer, but not a official manufacturer.

    About the last one "Opening for teams with support from a manufacturer, but not a official manufacturer." - isn't this OK already now? I mean M-sport is not an official manufacturer. Or what did you mean?

    I think M-sport is official for Ford, i was more thinking of a team like prodrive build cars for a semi-official like a importer with support from the manufacturer. This can be easier for a manufacturer to support, as they are not interested in motorsport because it will not look good when they just have electric cars.
    The economics is a other side of this ofcourse, i see support from monster, redbull or others will be more common.

    - Spec FIA Roll Cage
    - Get 2 or 3 brands to make a 'spec' engine like they do in BTCC and Indycars
    - Put the "Bubble" with the manufacturer shape on top of that.
    Rally1

    How do they spec a chassis / safety cell when there is a free choice of motor and fuel source which could all require different placements in the car ?

    Ford wants to commit to WRC future but 2027 rules must be "right for everybody"

    Blue oval boss outlines his thoughts of the direction the World Rally Championship should take with its 2027 technical rules

    Good point to alove both manufacturers and tuners to build cars.

    But, "be right for everybody", that is not possible.

    So, Rushbrook pretty much asks for an LMH/LMDh type of regulation.

    It actually is; look at WEC and W2RC (Dakar)......

    And for that reason the WRC won't do it; as they'll want just one solution, as is the status quo.

    Is there a better sound than that of Porsche engined Flat-6 ???
