2025 WRC News & Rumours

There definitely are advantages to this year's points system as well, and the new proposal sounds a bit like the best of the old and the existing -however, I also think, as someone here mentioned earlier, that the power stage should only offer the possibility of a maximum of 3 points (3-2-1) so that the winner cannot under any circumstances get less points than the runner-up, AND that the Super Rally rule should be scrapped (which the FIA ​​won't do), to me, it doesn't feel right for the spirit of the sport.

If super rally rule would be scrapped then we could get 3-4 rally1 cars for sundays only or even in saturday. As long as there is lack of those cars on the grid, that rule need to stay.

A clue that Ogier may be on the grid next year?

All we need is 18 point for the first 2 days, and 7 point for sunday. That would fix all the cruising without making it difficult.

Unfortunately, you can't make a direct comparison between the old and new points system, because the drivers of course has adapted their tactics

If you understand that, how will this affect tactics for the better spirit of the sport?

I don't see him getting into a Toyota in 26 either way. If Evans retires after 25 then I think Pajari is their man if they want a young guy. Maybe if they shift Katsuta back in to a separate team, but I'm not sure Solberg is an immediate upgrade for the manufacturers championship.

Not really a fan of Rally Japan

chris ingram won the british rally championship title this weekend and one of our fellow members here from the forum mentioned that he said in his finish ramp interview that there will be an announcement soon about a WRC event. i'd assume is for rally2? i like chris, he have potential. tough part is that he is always racing with such low support ($$) to the point he cannot push like hell when competing because he cannot crash his car. not much money to fix it... and still both british and european champion. fingers crossed for this guy!
