WRC mainclass from 2027

[OldF]

Hello OldF.
Been a while, I think.
Welcome back.

Thanks Rallyper,

The past 2,5 year of my life haven’t been the best time of my life. Few surgery, a broken / compressed vertebra which is still affecting my walking. For about two years I didn’t even follow any rallying.

I don’t know how much news I have missed during this time. For example I was surprised how much the price of a rally2 has increased. A Citroen C3 rally2 was little below 200 00 euros a while ago and now 231 000 euros without the option kit. The Lancia rally2’s price is 268 000 euros without the option kit. Is the price increase because of changes in regulations or increased costs due to economic inflation?

Skoda will not have official team. And will not build new car for highest category (at least in first year, later maybe as it will not be allowed to build new Rally2 car according to current results).

Might they extend more support to Toksport so that they could run two permanent drivers for the whole 2027 season? If Rally2 cars should have parity with WRC27 it would be a shame if they didn’t have a go.
