Yep, so much for Dirtfish's R5/R5+ push

Really hope someone can. Even another one would feel incredible at the moment.
The fact they’ve seemingly locked in the current three is actually incredibly good, considering, so I think it will basically push the sport into its next generation of regs and onwards hopefully.
Looked rocky for a while.
Surprised it’s seemingly worked out, but extremely happy.

Yeah, but remember it's still just Dirffish rumors and we've even seen teams pull out when they are "commited" (remember VW 2016 or Citroen 2019). All thumbs must still be kept upwards.

UK government has just confirmed a ban on the sale of new diesel/petrol only cars from 2030. Plug in hybrids given until 2035. I think that is a sensible compromise, it’s a good way to transition to full electric whilst gradually getting the infrastructure in place for charging and waiting for electric car costs to reduce and range to improve further.

You can also see it from the point that what will come in ten years won't be likely the problem of the current people in charge. It can be postponed, changed, canceled, speed-up or whatever. A lot will be different in ten years than today and a lot will happen in between. In a way it's easy to plan something which will come into effect in ten years because such decision doesn't hurt now.

Spot on. Besides demagogic, this political fixation on full EVs it's irresponsible as it makes harder to look for other alernatives, like the renewable synthetic fuels (RSF). Bosch, one of the leading partners in carbon neutral RSF, is struggling to get support for their development. https://www.bosch.com/stories/denner...ectromobility/
Btw, F1 will use RSF in their next hybrid engines generation. https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/f...fuels/4907782/Last edited by Rally Power; 21st November 2020 at 17:14.

Jarmo Mahonen said in an interview that two big manufacturers are interested in joining WRC. He also says the current teams haven't yet signed the paper on committing to the rules, but it has been agreed verbally.
EDIT: The two new manufacturers were actually interested a few years ago. Misleading article.Last edited by AnttiL; 1st December 2020 at 06:30.
