WRC mainclass from 2027

Didn't somewhere says that something will need to be happened with new cars, since early "data" shows it would be slower than current Rally2 cars. Yes we will have maybe 6-8 of these cars (if we count Toyota 6 and 2 of Prospeed, haha). But also considering that Hyundai and M-Sport will have bigger budgets, better preparations than all other guys. But it's possible that those elite drivers will not be so elite anymore.

Renault continues to cut down their motorsport activities and after axing F1 engines, they are pulling out of WEC and Dakar/W2RC at the end of this year. So there goes any hopes of their return in top class rallying (but I choose to be in delusion and I hope they just want to join a motorsport where they can sell the cars to customers).

This is just a re-hash of the story from months ago (no Ford, possible Chinese brand coming) which Rich Millener said had no truth.

The Italian site is using the silence and information void and making assumptions.There's still no hard evidence or quotes from M-Sport.
