Their Head of Engineering Kevin Struyf:

“It's just a prototype rally car at the moment,” he said. “In 2027 the regulation changed for the first time in rally where the body is quite open, so the choice of the manufacturer is not really clear where we want to go, so it's just a base mule car, a prototype car.

“A lot of people get excited about some model, but there is nothing about any model at the moment, it's just a prototype.

Personally, I'm worried about the sound more!!!

From what I heard (from my finnish friend and what he read in media) Toyota wrc27 cars might be managed from private teams. Two of them... one from Estonia.

But another thing to take into account was the fast development in Group A back in the day, soon making them faster than the prevoius Group B cars.

There doesnt seem to he the chance of this with the Regs of the WRC27...

"The comparisons are fair, but are they sensible?"

No.

Firstly, the sport isn't changing, WRC is. Outside WRC, Rally2 is already the pinnacle. Group B were used all over.

Secondly, today's Promoter tour cannot be compared with the FIA's competition of the 1980s.
