WRC mainclass from 2027

This commercial was banned in the UK for encouraging unsafe driving. (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c5y5ez8189lo)

Ever noticed how in every car commercial they're travelling at 5kph or not moving at all?

Driving at breakneck speed through trees, jumps, losing traction on corners... isn't what the car companies are allowed to sell. WRC can only appeal to so many small, rebellious, performance car brands - IF the FIA would only accommodate them; and Toyota, the global behemoth bigger than the bodies that makes the policies.

"Autosport understands that there is also at least one manufacturer edging closer to a potential announcement which could result in a new player joining the WRC from 2027.

It is understood a meeting with a manufacturer, to discuss its potential future involvement, will take place at Rally di Roma this week."

Potential of 2 tuners and 1 manufacturer as of now

Hayden Paddon wants in with a team of his own...

18 months to go and even M-Sport, the biggest rally 'tuner' of them all, isnt starting work yet...

"M-Sport confirmed earlier this month that it's looking at the regulations to see what is possible, but the British squad requires more details on the future direction of the WRC before it is in a position to commit."

hmm.... and "apparently" theres "some talk about a Ypslon rally2 test with Bonato". ??
sure, rally2s will be allowed in 27' but heyy hope that motivates stellantis to build cars too...?

(and I dont see msport not participating, especially because now they got what they wanted: a place to build and sell cars. maybe they are waiting on the UK/Ireland championships to agree on allowing the new cars there?)

A meeting in Rome, so maybe it is Lancia ?

"2 tuners", 1 potential manufacturer, toyota
then again, we should have zero reasons to believe msport and skoda motorsport would just quit, cuz they have good business models in this R5 level (maybe its something like waiting to see if national championships will be ok with the new cars vs R5s)
...then paddon?
thats like 7 potential entries already not counting the number of cars each builders may sell or each team may enter. I know its only speculation and guesses but heyyyy, felling optimistic!

do know if the tubeframes are "the same" from last years? hehe cuz hyundai, gazoo and msport have more than 30 (each) of those already built in house.
