WRC future

[Fast Eddie WRC]

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.

Hardcore fans who would watch anything might still watch ugly SUV's but not the general public who wont see any excitement in it. Therefore a big source of publicity will be lost.

And electric is the next step and probably sooner than you think as hybrid is already 'old tech'.

Real fans have stuck with rally through thick and thin and rule changes, but ugly, silent, electric SUV's is more than a change from Gp B to Gp A or 2.0 to 1.6.
