based on some talks from that time i got my suggestion of having rally2 as top class but only for privateers and constumers, factory teams must run hydrogen, hybrid or electric rally2s (bop)
There was talk like that yes but that was pure big mouth marketing. It's easy making claims like that in the current automotive environment, yet those claims can be based on a pipe dream fantasy. Even if EV's would be allowed and the championship dumbed down to the according level, I highly doubt they would join and make their talk reality.
