So WRC2 + ERC for Andrea Mabellini

I don't know that, but I know that the Lancia program will be officially presented on November 18th at Satory, home of Stellantis’ motorsport activities, along with the drivers and the official livery of the Ypsilon HF Integrale Rally2. Maybe we will learn something in 2 days.

During the presentation of the Lancia Ypsilon Rally2 today, they only mentionned name of Gianandrea Pisani for ERC 2WD 2026(in the Ypsilon Rally4)...once again, no Andrea Mabellini at all

customer, yes. But only factory-backed team in erc will be for pisani in rally4 (team still to be decided with a tender, probably italy based)

I wouldn't expect a factory-backed Rally2 team in ERC. That will be in WRC2 where their big effort is being made to win the Title for maximum publicity.
