If a part-time driver like Ogier is still a favorite to win WRC 2024 then something is verry wrong about this wonderful action sport.
I wouldn't write off some Stellantis involvement in some form in 2027. They are looking closely at what the regs will be. Maybe a clue is the latest Lancia Rally4 project and commitment this year for that old C3 in WRC2. Ford will commit fully too if they hit that spot,... we should cross our fingers for Skoda, they have been in the WRC2 for a long time and it's time they try the top spot. Even Hyundai (if they are not lying) will stay if someone new enters.

The department of promotion is working really hard, and maybe in the next two years, the investment and return will be worth it. So if the regs will be right, some new names might come by.
