Yes, every single thing they from eating breakfast to having good sleep they do so they can do the best performance. So yes, they are working 24/7.

Like every other top athlete. Still no sympathy. They doing theire dream and get good paid.
Its 2000 rallydrivers last 20 years that would give everything to make a swap.

Its like every other job, when you are finished in one, change.

Peter Thul (WRC Promoter) says WRC27 will go to ERC and national championships as soon as 2028/29 and FIA are actively discussing timelines https://youtu.be/vrojMnqI2iw?t=1185

OK, so a 2½ day rally needs 7 or 8 days. If you shorten the rally to 1½ days it will still need 6 or 7 days. If the drivers want more time off then the WRC needs to have fewer events. The same applies to F1, taking a day off each event doesn't make that much difference they'll only get more free time by reducing the number of races.

I believe drivers were mostly complaining about too long liaisons, sometimes having to drive hundreds of kilometers just to do one or a few stages.
One of the most ridiculous examples was ypres 2021. On sunday, they had parc ferme out at 4.50, having to drive 300km of liaison. Just to do 40km of stages from 8.30 to 12.30.

They should have stages closer together, so they can start later and end earlier.

It's not just drivers who would befefit from that. Also fans, who want to see more stages live. The camera crew, support, media, key people... It's umderstandable that the hosting country wants to action get through as many places they can, but basically liasion doesn't give any real benefit to the events at all, except abnormal time restrictions and schedules.. I see only benefit reducing that for many involving aspects.

Regarding Subaru. I think it's only some sort of motorsport activity or announcement for new STI models, since the car on the video have too much revelance to regular car. Rally cars usually isn't that much comforty and too regular. Their knobs and sticks usually looks like some sort home build and nothing like you would see in some normal cars.

I expect January 9th will pass without even a comment on what actually was announced. As usual it's the false hope that is the story.

Is the correct name for this generation Rally1 2027?

what would have happened to the World rally championchip if the new rally1 was todays rally2 car, and rally3 had taken the role as top car for all other championchips international and national series?

WRC would die. Then there will be 2000 otherwise useless existing Rally2s hitting the non-ASN championships making them more appealing than the national championships, so they also die. Will the ASNs allow it? No, so the owners and fans find a new sporting format outside the ASNs' authority. Internationally, in best case scenario, a Rally2 type championship is made available, but it kills off Rally3 ERC and regionals. Would the FIA permit it? No.

So the FIA and ASN's would lose their sport and what's left becomes a historics/tuners sport but not as anybody knows it because not only are not enough new base production cars being made, there's no real stability or the incentive to produce rally variants.

Will the new WRC27 Cars be eligible for National championships seeing as they'll be on a par with the old Rally2's ? This could help Manufacturers and Tuners to sell more cars and encourage them.
