I have zero intention of driving a Yaris, but I still watch rallying.
The next gen isn’t electric BTW... it’s going to be hybrid.
I think you’re wrong about the series losing the fans too, you might not choose to watch it anymore, but I think I’ll be one of many who still watch it, whatever guise it takes.
Let’s face it, even if they do someday end up using electric cars, they’ll still be as fast as hell to watch.
