    as we were saying a couple of months ago, this new 'business model' (build cars able to compete in wrc, erc, national championships) will be as good or even better as the current rally2 market. sure, anyone can build a car now, but the teams already in business know how to do it. (msport, skoda motorsport, toyota, the stellantis racing division etc)

    Hyundai again threatening to leave. This time it is the powertrain that does not suit them.

    also Skoda Motorsport tease with that on FB story. https://ibb.co/vCtszZ9q
    The link between the Enyaq and WRC2027 is a tad optimistic for me.

    Why asking so little favours.. better ask straight away that they would like to keep using same rally1 cars while others are allowed to race rally2 or even rally3 cars..

    Tired of their ,,I will cry without candy'' stories..

    hmmmm wait. if the car must cost 340k $ (? is that the number?), can they build and sell for a profit?? i just thought that. imagine Skoda Motorsport builds cars... can they make it for a decent price in order to be able to sell it (and profit) for 340$? (i forgot the actual price, sorry)

    or, for example, can Toyota build their new cars that would cost 500k bucks and simply not sell? use it just for the factory team? (while saying "nah, but for US it costed 340k $, we are not selling it because we would not make a profit and we cannot sell it for 500k $ according to this new deal)

    i wish we could have a good press conference with all out doubts answered
