    True!

    But FE (Formula Electric) has more "real" manufacturers involved than F1...

    Rallying is way different PR-wise than F1.

    Rally cars must present road cars, otherwise we could continue with petrol cars forever. That (old fashion benzine cars) would be my ideal scenario.

    Maybe, just maybe, something the sport needs to look into the immediate future:

    All new Ford vehicles will be electric by the end of the decade.
    Make of that what you will.

    A bit offtopic, but I think relevant nonetheless.

    Ferrari as just confirmed its awaited official endurance racing return, after so many years out, starting from 2023.

    So maybe hybrids are the right choice after all.

    Well they, (the FiA/ ACO) are doing something right; Peugeot, Toyota, Porsche, Audi, Glickenhaus, and now Ferrari.......all in the top class. That's very good...hopefully they all turn up.

    Is there a better sound than that of Porsche engined Flat-6 ???

    Is it the right signal to send young drivers that 2wd cars will no longer have a championship to fight for?

    The current JWRC doesn’t seem to get anyone’s career anywhere

    Evans, Tidemand and Lefebvre, champions 2012-2014 are the last JWRC champions to start in a WRC car...
