Could be some manus changed focus when engine size jumped to 1620ccm for the Rally3. Not so easy to take a R4, put in a 4wd system and you have a R3.
And if that was Toyota that got the size change adopted by FIA, then hopefully they will push to get it out to the people!
Little news from Gazoo Finland these days.
Toyota has NO 1.6T road cars (only Yaris WRC has 1.6T)
Road Yaris GR-4 has 1.5T 3-zylinder
Trust me Gazoo Finland is working a lot but Gazoo Japan decide which is public and which is not.
It's been said that a Lancia Rally2 will enter WRC2 in 2026.
Is it possible one could also be run in ERC ? And him being Italian, maybe Mabellini could be the driver ?
Toyota isnt a factory team in WRC2, Solberg is run by Printsport.
I'm sure a top WRC2 driver would be happy to take his place there. Moving from a Skoda or Citroen wasnt a problem for Solberg.
It´s time to decide the winner, or most pointscoring driver...
