Rally Chile Biobio 2025

[Steve Boyd]

Basicly, they sent 40 miillions on R&D, almost 20 doing rallies, and then they couldn't spend 300.000 Euros on a third engine? Are these 300.000 on one more engine and 200.000 on one more gearbox that will blow the budget?

Where do you set the limit?

Do you allow a new engine and a new gearbox on every day of every event?

Using your figures that would be €1.5 million in engines and gearboxes every event!

Answer: NO

WRC Regulations

17.1.1 Each Manufacturer must use no more than 2 engines per car
name per season (see also Art.17.2.2 and Art. 17.2.3).

But

17.2.3 When a car does not finish the Power Stage, an extra engine
per car name may be allowed without incurring a penalty. No
more than one extra engine per car name and per season may
be sealed without incurring any penalty.
When an extra engine is used, the engine which was fitted on
a retired car (car name) may not be used any further during
the season (see Art. 17.1.4).

If Tanak does not finish Sunday they can use a new engine replacing on of these two damaged
