    I don't know why it's so hard to in WRC world just to tell, when in other sports there is usually no problem telling stuff like, manufacturer making plans to enter, who they sign, or what are intentions. Here everything is wrapped in bubbles and announced at the last possible times

    WRC is not that big anymore for constant news and announcements and expectations (tho DirtFish tries really hard)
    And manufacturers are not that interested anymore too so we are left with "someone who knows a Skoda mechanic saying the board is talking about a possible new car for 27-28" - Which may be true and that would be awesome. Hoping for the best! 2027 is going to be very decent if you ask me, just for the fact that "anyone can enter an R5". Not the favorite aspect of it around here but its what we can hope for from now on!

    To be fair, they'd wait until the new Promoter was in place before signing deals.

    Toyota: Seen as the only "certain" manufacturer ready for 2027.

    Lancia: Starting in Rally2 in 2026, with plans for WRC27 in 2028.

    Skoda: Developing its WRC27.

    Subaru: The rumor of another Japanese giant's return is gaining strength!

    Others: Projects from Prodrive, M-Sport Poland and other "tuners", are on the table.
    I've seen that and every time someone mentiones Subaru without any profound backing but rather because they are a fanboy or want to appease to the army of obnoxious fanboys, they immediately loose any credibility.

    If constantly making up the same story is your idea of fun so be it. I'm just tired of it.

    It was just one of the many rumours and no more than that. Chill.

    It's only a rumours, but on the other hand it doesn't make any sense being so confident go that way for WRC27 ruleset, if there isn't any serious interest at the table, but they keep it completely quiet for some weird reason, probably doesn't want to be us fans too happy (joke) 🤣 this sport gives us so many false hopes, dreams and scenarios already through years that we honestly doesn't believe anything until it's confirmed officialy. What I hope there will NOT ever be a point where the series will die and certainly doesn't want that FIA will be the one to kill it as seems they are doing this quite well right now.
