WRC future

[AnttiL]

Raising the profile of the brand is the main aim of WRC participation. But sticking with petrol turbos for the next gen i20(N) & Yaris (GR) while insisting they are going 'green' in WRC is strange logic.

If both of these models were hybrid then they would probably promote their brands 'green credentials' more than hybrid WRC's.

These cars are just "homologation specials" of the current WRC cars which don't yet have any hybrid elements to them. We don't even know if i20 and Yaris will be used in the 2022 regulations, since larger model bodyshells could be used, Hyundai could want to promote the Kona as a hybrid model etc.

EDIT: not current WRC cars but what would have been the WRC cars in 2021
