[WRC] News & Rumours 2018

[Francis44]

Smeets and VW Motorsport in general are just a bit angry they have spent an huge amount of money on that EV Pikes Peak car and now they dont have a motorsport series where they can use the technology for further promotion, they already have a bunch of subsidiaries on FE and beyond that there isn't really another option, they know F1 won't budge so they keep trying to pull strings on other series.

That said, I would very much like to have some sort of Hybrid powertrain for the next set of regulations, I think cars could have improved performance without loosing too much appeal for spectators, after all the engines could be a copy paste of the current. And then I would like to hear what kind of excuse VW would have not to re-enter the series.
