2022 WRC News & Rumours

Teams can take up to 2 spares with them.
Fuel fails? so often.
If you run out of tyres or fuel fails, you can't drive further. That's it.

I think we just had a big arguement a year ago about driving with just three intact tyres...nothing actually stops you from continuing, other than the rules.

Anyway I would have gone with notional times, but with someone inspecting the car for other damage and stewards checking onboard for possible incidents.

They need to make some simple way of totally disconnecting the hybrid system and making the car safe in the event of a red light.

It could then be driven with the ICE only for the rest of the rally.

Easiest way should be to demount the hybrid system completely

Yeah it's not that easy unfortunately, on a road car you have a pul switch that makes the circuit breakers in the battery flip open and disconnect the battery (if they work as normal) but you still have to check that there's no voltage anywhere before you can tell if the car is safe

I think when we will be back in Croatia Rally and someone asks Tänak about this decision, he will give some ironic answer like "best decision ever" or "what a well spent time in that meeting".

Finally a good way to decide road order

[WRCStan]

It looks FIA GRR is officially dead.

Any further news or announcement, or has this been quietly brushed under the rug?

"Great news to start the week! As you know we won’t be driving the Rally1 car at Rally de Portugal ���� so instead we will be competing in a Hyundai i20 N Rally2 in a Monster Energy-backed entry so we can keep building experience and get as many kms as we can to prepare for the future! ��
This is a ‘bonus’ entry for us and we’re really thankful for Hyundai Motorsport and everyone’s support to make this happen! ��"
