Rally1 hybrid cars (2022-)

[Mirek]

I know its not comparable but World Rallycross lost audi, ford, vw and peugeot in 2018. Both 2019 and 2020 seasons without manufactures were WAY better. Rally2 cars would become the fastest cars out there. But it could also go very badly like "Oh, now theres a few toyotas racing alone on the front" (wec)

The whole WRC circus is paid by manufacturers and their rich sponsors. Without them WRC will quickly become another ERC with few overseas evens where nobody goes. ERC in turn will suffer as well because the same pool of privateers can't keep two major series alive in the same time.
