WRC mainclass from 2027

[deephouse]

I think they want to replace Rally2 cars with WRC27 or whatever it will be called, I mean, it's their goal. But I don't know what will then they do with WRC2, WRC3, JWRC in a few years.

M-Sport likely to battle on with the revised Fiesta Rally2 until 2028...

“We will only be able to start with the Fiesta Rally2 in 2027,” Millener explains. “I also don’t see us bringing a car to the WRC27 regulations this season; that will more likely be the case in 2028. Because first and foremost, we need to see what the details and future plans of the promoter look like.”

Fiesta Rally2, a beacon of hope
Accordingly, Millener is heavily promoting his customer car, which has been generating less and less revenue in recent months as the competition has overtaken it: “Our Fiesta Rally2 has been further developed. In Sweden, Romet Jürgenson was the only non-Toyota driver to set a WRC2 best time. In the upcoming rounds, we want to demonstrate how well our package compares to the best Toyotas, Lancias, or Skodas. I am convinced of the Fiesta's qualities – both in terms of performance and reliability.”

This is nothing new, M-Sport told it before they will not do new car for next year. I expect nobody will have new car on beginning of 2027 except Toyota who is working on the car for more than one year.

That's more a question for the new promoter.

It's a 'coupe', but with that bulbous cabin and high roofline and boxy arches, it doesn't look nice at all.

Especially without the camoflague...

But this is 3 months further on and they've still not even decided if they'll build a car at all. They're re still waiting on the new Promoter's plans which could be another few months. And then they have to decide if it's going to be their own car or a Manufacturers and only then start to design, build and test it ! The start of 2028 looks to be a push at that rate.

Mad when you think the boss of M-Sport is also the Deputy President for the body that is in conversation with the new promoter. Maybe he's also got a position at the new promoter lol.

We will see if there will be new promoter or only new investor...

A new investor without ownership wasn't worth all this charade, and the current promoter was clear it wanted out and has voiced absolutely nothing about the future. A new owner of the current promoter is as good as a new promoter.
