Rally1 hybrid cars (2022-)

[Thousandlakes]

Anybody know how much rally1 car minimum weight will be?

Another interesting thing is how much rally1 car is faster than rally2. I bet somewhere between 1.5-2sec km. So pretty much same as this year wrc/wrc2.

If it is only 1sec/km I would be quite disappointed.

What is your prediction?

I believe Rally1 will be 0.75 s/km slower than 2021 WRC. And then Rally2 will be 1.25 s/km slower than Rally1.

And by the end of the year Rally1 cars will be on the same speed or faster than 2017 spec cars....

I don't think so, but the differences of WRC-Rally1-Rally2 will vary quite greatly from stage/rally to another.

That's my prediction anyway and the gap between those cars will shrink during the year massively

It woul be good to have a smaller gap between Rally1 and Rally2. To day it is so massive that even with issues/mistakes WRC carss vcan catchup the leadderrboard quite easily.
Rally1 must rermain the top class, but not a totally separate rally (as it was with Goup4/Group2 back in the days)
also the jump for a young driver would not be as massive with 2+ years of learning. Again , in the Group A ays, experienced privateers and up and coming youngsters could compete (almost) immediately with the top guns - See Ogier's debuts.

Cars are Category II (competition cars). No production requirement or reference to cars previously homologated in Group A or N. Only a loosely term rule: "Cars must be strictly series production based and must be identifiable from the information specified on the homologation form."

Sporting regs say Rally1 cars will only be homologated when a manufacturer registers for the manufacturers championship. I think we're too late to get a car ready, but is WRC more open then before?

So. Rally1 Minimum weight is 1260kg. About 80kg heavier than 2021 cars. Not bad if new cars are already near that minimum weight?

70kg's and don't forget that hybrid system adds another roughly 80-90 kg (to the previous weight).
