We will see in march how many real interest will be in World RX for electric rules. I bet that none. Here will be the same. Everyone (especially VW) is loud but when comes to real confirmation all just hide.

With current rules all teams left this year....officially teams left WRX because electric car rules were postponed by FIA.

You can wonder if the explanation is real but it's a fact that they left.

That's not true, as only Peugeot left because of eWRX delay. Ford left previously to eWRX annoucement; Audi didn't sign in the initial eWRX deadline (August '18) and left immediatly after; VW pull out after realizing they'd be the only manu team in '19 championship.

VW also complained about the rules (VW, not P. Solbergs team). Anyway that's sematics.

Point is that with the current normal engine rules the championship collapsed.

The main point in WRC case is to have the Hybrid label on WRC cars; to get it there’s no need to make a complete tech change (like in eWRX) or to push for expensive hi-tech systems (like in WEC); a low-cost mild hybrid system (like the current 48 volts) should be enough.

If the idea is to portrait the greatest and most accomplished legends the sport has, it's a joke of a Hall of Fame without mr. Maximum Attack.

All objections are automatically dismissed.

Who is mr maximum attack?

Citroen is the first manu to get 100 wins in the WRC! They’ve been leading the chart for a while (since 2011) but to get WRC win #100 at the same time they’re celebrating the brand 100th anniversary is really something. Huge congrats!

The best comment about Citroen's 100th victory in the WRC comes from Stewart Weir

They've come a long way since this...
