Rally1 hybrid cars (2022-)

worth posting here as well, lots of small details in the article. Like the aero is supposedly in 2022 trim now.

The way I understand it it means the aero is "reduced" to 2022 allowed levels. Not that it's "tuned" into the final 2022 design.

yeah, that's what I meant. Like WRCWings said: Fiesta WRC 2017-spec, with no dive planes, no fender vents and no rear diffuser... that is, simplified aero version 2022

Are these new cars self charging or plug-in-hybrid? 3.9KWh battery seems pretty small.

Plug-in hybrid but the power coming from a renewable source.

EVO Magazine:

"The battery will power an electric motor that will deliver around 100 kW power (approximately 130bhp).

An extra 130bhp over the IC engine's 380bhp means total power output will reach 500bhp, that means an even stronger acceleration, and higher speeds due to the availability of instant torque. Lessons have been learned from the infamous Group B cars, and despite the jump in power, the FIA will regulate how this power can be used. The teams will have control over battery boost deployment and benefit from it on particular parts of a stage, that will likely be predefined by the organisers. This is to make sure the competition remains equal and more importantly, safe."

So basically they are gonna create zones like DRS in F1.

They were presented as mild-hybrids, not plugin. IMHO plugin hybrid with such small battery makes little sense.

Is there (anywhere) confirmed that they will run the current restrictor? I doubt that. If no this math is wrong.
