and so far no one is on the run for fia's election this year against mbs
which is kinda weird because he is NOT doing a good job, everybody knows that... but apparently his money (intimidation???) can buy all the votes. idk, i dont like this guy. it sounds "islamophobic" but its not that. its just....it always something stupid.
like these new MEDALS they are going to give to WRC race winners. "ohh they are made of recycled metals"
ok... but if you DONT PRODUCE these pointless medal, you would release LESS Co2!! how about that? its even MORE GREEN than recycled metals!!! nope... medals for everyone! screw the emissions! haha its all a big dumb hypocrital PR machine.

Wonder whether having given Malcolm/M Sport so much trade over the years MBS will think him "loyal to the cause"

That's one of the most beautifully worded posts I've read on this forum. Not saying I agree, but well done.

AG Rally:

Total Energies has raised the price of fuel to €8.75 per litre excluding VAT, creating discontent in the circus since the previous price, of P1 Fuels, was €6.96 per litre.
The price increase was validated by the Rally of the Canary Islands, that is, since Total Energies took over from P1 Fuels as the sole supplier of fuel for the WRC.
The new price has been increased by 25% which has a significant economic impact:
•WRC teams purchase fuel in blocks of 50L. Now each block of 50L costs €437.50.
•Considering that on average an event consumes between 450 and 500L of fuel, each team spends approximately €4000 plus VAT for each car.
*Quantity of fuel and total price may vary from event to event.
TotalEnergies will supply fuel at these prices until the end of the season, meanwhile the FIA ​​is looking for a single fuel supplier for the three-year period 2026-2028 through a tender.

Technical rules for the next WRC regulations cycle still aren't set in stone ��

But the FIA remains optimistic that the 2027 regulations are going to attract interest from new entrants ��

So basically they remain confident that Hyundai are out for next year…do wonder who will take their place, doubt any of the VW Group bandwagon will comeback; Although could you believe it’s almost been 10 years(!] since dieselgate?

This seems like one of the things that could easily be changed to make things cheaper. Just make them use normal, commercial fuel. Nobody will notice the difference in performance, and they all save a lot of money.
