    Before official decision there will be:
    - hybrid will still be used
    - Hyundai will leave if they don't like smth
    - hybrid will be cancelled
    - hyundai's future in wrc looks promising
    - no next spec car detail until end of 2025
    - there is no issues with current manus, we decided to keep the spec same till 2030
    - points system will be changed, but nobody knows how, but it will be changed

    At the end.. 2025 Monte starts.. and the only change is that wrc teams can have vegan-only meals during rallies and allLive will have mandarin and swahili subtitles.

    you forgot that AllLive will probably be worse and will lag even more.

    WRC.com are wrong then ?

    "Toyota team principal Jari-Matti Latvala is looking forward to being behind the wheel himself more next season, with the potential for a title tilt at the European Historic Championship crown."

    It probably depends on which car he chooses. Looking at the other cars in the EHC, the Celica GT-Four ST165 must be eligible, it's from the late 80's. Not sure if the GT-Four ST185 or anything more modern is eligible.

    Latvala will tackle next year’s European series at the wheel of a Toyota Celica Turbo 4WD, a car permitted to run in FIA-sanctioned events following a decision from last month’s World Motor Sport Council.

    Talking about that decision, Latvala said: “It’s good news. I mean getting cars now in the historic rally up to year 2000, we have some great cars in the ’90s, the Group A cars and the first World Rally Cars. They’ve been kept now a little bit on the side and I think there is a lot of fans who really wants to see these cars on the action.

    “I’m one of those and I’m really happy that I’ve been building now a Celica ST185 so then I can compete in the European Championship with that car.”

    Probably the GT-Four ST185 (or Turbo 4WD in some countries) just became eligible... I see some Sierra Cosworth 4x4 in the results, from 1990. The ST185 should be from 1992, so it could be.

    Aero implications of Rally1 dehybridisation by WRCWings:

    "In summary, drivers will have to get used to slower cars with less aero contribution, which means that the non-hybrid cars will become less effective and less spectacular, at least on some terrains.'
