OK, that's fine then. But one who wants to prove it's the best of the best, should welcome more competition, because it will prove more.
You want make Hyundai and Citroën change their stance anyway, so You'd better get used to the reality instead of writing walls of text about how coward they are.
The first article was after a rumour and before Hyundai contacted Lappi.
And he's not chasing them for a drive, just listening to see what they offer. Plus he is only interested in a part-time...
Of course it will all follow that path. According to wikipedia for Rally2 cars the homolgations expire:
-both Fiesta Rally2 and R5 (2026)
-i20 Rally2 (2028)
-i20 R5 (2027)
-C3 Rally2 (2030)
-208...
I wouldn't expect a factory-backed Rally2 team in ERC. That will be in WRC2 where their big effort is being made to win the Title for maximum publicity.
According to Dirstfish there could be around 100 pre-orders for the Ypsilon Rally2 :eek: :confused:
They still mention Andrea Mabellini as possible in ERC 2026 with Lancia...
