2022 WRC News & Rumours

[AndyRAC]

The Rally1 manufacturer or the manufacturer of the series production vehicle it is based on?

Because if you mean the Rally1 manufacturer, I'd still be confused why the Mitsubishi R5 struggled when there was a business case for building the car in the first place.

If you mean the series-prod, you mean to disagree with wyler? I don't know if your like means you agree.

The manufacturer of the production road car has to sign/agree to the homologation papers for it to be used in a FiA series. The Mirage R5 didn't receive it, and ran in national events. There is still one run on BTRDA events here in the UK. Mitsubishi had no interest in the Mirage R5, for whatever reason and the car wasn't internationally homologated.

I'm not sure why people are using a comparison with F1 constructors; it's slightly different. Some are owned by a car manufacturer; others are solely in business to race in F1, without selling production cars.

The WRC is a motorsport series using cars based on production cars, built by mainstream manufacturers......That's not likely to change unless the FiA decide to.
