Apologies if I've missed the news but - what will happen to the current RC1 cars next year?
Will they still be allowed to compete in WRC?

For sure not. There are basically no private ones anyway.

Rally fans: Want privateers to be able to compete in the top class. Rally2 cars finishing in P8 is not enough. In fact it shows how the top class actually need more entries!
FIA/WRC: Nope... But Please continue watching.

This is NOT about the hybrid rally1 cars but its is something interesting anyway.
"VW" just entered an electric SUV in a 1000km race in the Mexican Desert (NORRA Championship) and the car finished the event without any major problems! Im NOT a big fan of how FIA demands spec things like the batteries(!!) in Extreme-e and Formula-e because this is NOT how you develop new tech in motorsport.
Im WAY more into these things were manufacturers and racing teams enter in "open rules" classes to try something out. Im also curious about Audi's project for Dakar in '22.
Its nothing increeeedible considering they finished in last, basically... and they had to use a (still not entirely well described) portable biofuel generator for recharging.. But its always interesting to hear those stories.
Tanner Foust was the driver behind the wheel (rally winner in America / 3x US rallycross champion)

Is there any explanation of the fact that new generation will be only for three years? Is the Euro7, scheduled for 2025 for road vehicles, a factor for this small duration?
