    Meeke reckons he's done more miles testing the Fabia than he's ever done before in a year:

    BTW, do we have any info where PSA/Stellantis is planning to go on the Rally2 front? The C3 is nearing the end of its lifespan, but no news on the successor, or at least I didn't come across it.

    It's a tricky time to be planning on changing or creating a new Rally2 car. How long will it be until the switch to hybrid or full-electric comes and will a car be able to be retro-fitted with the new tech ?

    I am afraid that after new Skoda Fabia RS Rally2 we will see only one more new current Rally2 car and that will be all...

    The Fiesta is getting older now... Puma Rally2 ?

    Citroën made electric rallycross C3, which was retrofitted Rally2.

    How long has it been now? 3 years since they’ve introduced it?

    That was just fitting the Stard kit and made specifically for rallycross. Fitting a hybrid/ electric motor in an existing ICE rally car, for stage use over many kms, is a different thing altogether.

    Yep. And with the Puma taking over as the Rally1 you would expect a Puma Rally2 to do the same.

    Well if they'd do that won't they also have to change the Fiesta Rally3 & so forth? Perhaps they're waiting for someone in the FIA to get off their butts and change the regulations of Rally2/R5 after next to nothing has been done to them since they introduced them back in 2013.
