well now it's an official stamp for all parties for not having to use their superminis/suv based one's as the basis for the car and we might see the C-segment back in action, and unlike now, no plug-in hybrid systems since next year so no stupid HY on the door sides, back to normal numbers, yayy, but on a more serious note, I'm glad someone there finally saw the light (or at least some of it) and realized no-one cared or maybe even realized these cars have a battery pack stuck to them and decided to take them off. As for power, it seems we've gone back to the initial DS3 & Fiesta days.
Only you know your true potential.
This year we rally #ForCraig

Im happy with the decision, honestly. I dont think we will atract manufacturers, but I can see some richier teams joining the Rally2+ thing that will be more or less on the same level as the rally1-. On FB there were people saying "Oliver Solberg" opted to race in WRC2 because they more or less already knew about these changes, so they opted to not waste money on Rally1 cars since it would be ditched. Some said Kalle's decision was also influenced by this dismiss of Rally1 cars.
Not sure we can truste all infos we read on facebook, but IT KIIIINDA makes sense. I dont think the shareholders didnt knew about this until today. The Rally2+ conversation has been around since last year, it didnt came out of nothing, they were talking about that already behind some close doors, for suuure.... But anyway. Im happy!

2025 can be quite interesting. I wonder about the gap between the two categories. What if the Rally2+ cars are going to be faster and winning events?

Think the whole point is to equalize Rally 1 and Rally 2 cars in a similar fashion to what ACO and IMSA do with LeMans Hypercars (LMH) and LeMans Daytona hybrid (LMDh).

The car Serderidis 'bought', according to eWRC, got used again and again by other M-Sport drivers and when he drove on non-WRC events was run by M-Sport who turn up with the car and take it back again. I believe that's part of the Rally1 philosophy/rules which are being changed.
