IMHO FIA shall ASAP start to adapt the rules to be friendliest possible for the privateers because those will most likely stay while the future with the manufacturers it's at least uncertain.
Without Manufacturers there are no cars for the privateers. Unless rallying is just going to be for 'historics' in future.
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...
