2025 WRC News & Rumours

[meh]

What's the problem, its their job ?

And there were people complaining the other day that WRC is 'shut down' between events with no news or stories, especially compared to F1.

No problem to state, I happily follow all the news.. and "news", but this does not make them less of a factory

The main point was to share quotes from Tänak.

No team swaps can be confirmed at this stage when drivers still have 3 events left this season with their current teams. Any further chat needs to be in Silly Season.

This is why Tänak is going to Toyota. If he would stay in Hyundai, it is no problem to confirm that.

i think tanak is trying to go to toyota and abandon ship in hiunday. but toyota doesn't need him, especially due to the situation of hiunday.

Why not both Oliver and Ott are tied up at Toyota for next season? Is it impossible? No, don´t think so.

No-one confirms anything at this stage, but maybe he's had enough at Hyundai and will retire if Toyota wont have him.

Before you get too excited about Rovanpera in F1, remember that in Superformula in Japan he'll be racing against drivers with 15 to 20 years of racing experience. They all started in karts when they were little kids so driving in traffic and picking overtakes is second nature to them. Kalle is going to have to learn this. It isn't just about driving fast if you want results, unless you're that good you always qualify on pole & lead every lap!

Kalle has raced karts in his youth and then the Porche stuff. Of course nothing compared to the others, but not such novice as people think

Just to prove you wrong. https://www.theguardian.com/sport/20...acing.rallying (17th oct 2001). Richard Burns agreed to go from Subaru to Peugeot and there was still three rallies to go that year.
