It's actually going to be a big job even for the current Manus/Teams.
They will have to design, build and test these brand new hybrid cars, while still running and developing the current WRC cars to try to win in 2020 & 2021.
I worry especially about M-Sport in this unless Ford give them a lot of help.
What else is changing in the cars apart from the new system? Surely it will be an easier development and testing process than the jump from 2016-2017 cars?
Does anyone know how big a difference there is between the Rally1 Car spaceframe and the proposed new WRC27 spaceframe ?
I just wondered if Hyundai and MSport could use their Rally 1 spaceframe...
A shame if it's off as it's been a cool rally.
And as its scheduled as the first rally of ERC 2026 is there time for it to be replaced ?
Although I suppose an extra Round could be fitted in later...
Believe me, it will cost way more as it is capped at. That's why no one stand in line for those cars and everyone stands in line for Rally2 cars. I don't like it either, but the reality sucks. FIA...
