So a manufacturer developing a new car for 2025 will need to do another for 2027?

This is all looking more and more like another FIA-shaped fiasco of complication.....

Why do you say fiasco?
Does anybody else see that all the evidence points to there being no manufacturers lined up?
It's an FIA chassis, an FIA safety cell, the FIA developing hydrogen, the FIA developing driver talent, the FIA sourcing transmissions, opening the main class up to tuners, gone are the service park structures - because nobody's got one anymore...

Well, it all sounds like rushed talk as a response to often repeated tropes. This FIA administration seems famous for wanting to seem like the key authority, rather than actually being that authority. Just look at Mohammed and his F1 situation. He's been humiliated a few times.
I mean, this Working Group was only set up in mid-December. How considered do you think all of this could honestly be?

I think the working group only gained the power to act at the end of last year. Like you say, politics etc, and scrapping hybrid is a part of that and to address an immediate concern. They probably were thinking things through for a while before, combined with any new information since. Long term, nothing is bringing in manufacturers. I don't know what else they can or should do that isn't totally radical.

Open up for non-manufacturers to build and run a Rally1 car is the only solution to get new teams in.

How would any of the proposed changes from this silly working group have changed ANY of that in 2025 or 2026?
