haha right, right! WRC should run in 2025/26 what manufacturers are PLANNING TO SELL in 2027-28-29-30... Electric SUVs, hybrid Utes and ICE non-fossil fuel lightweight vehicules (which Im interested to know if SxS are actually cheaper than Rally3, Rally4 too) basically. Thats an easy one tbh. Tho Dakar and Extreme-E are already doing it so... ehhhhhh... it goes back to what I said on my first post about these FIA's exclusivity contracts that could ruin WRC in this decade.
But anyway.... if the product is only followed by the same 200k-ISH rally fans (sh*tty guessing haha) since the 2000's Why would manufacturers get interested at all? Thats why we could chat about "format changes" too.
Other thing that bothers me is that we are not thaaat distant from seeing these same manufacturers AND new ones (tech companies) looking more and more into autonomous-shared transportation. Can WRC participate on this?
Cuz I dont think so =/ ...its looks too complicated for the type of "terrains" wrc runs.
LeMans could use this, something like "Hypercars going 1 hour on fully autonomous mode" and that would be SO COOL looking from this tech angle...Last edited by lmmjvss; 24th January 2022 at 15:46.

I know we're still a bit far off but if Safari Rally Kenya doesn't get an extension for 2027 & beyond, is it likely we'll see Rally Mexico back for '27 or since the Rally in the USA is the target,...
