WRC mainclass from 2027

And if they (especially likely Hyundai) pull out, Toyota could too and leave it to the private team and the WRC27 Car.

Pull out of specifically *what*, and leaving *what* to the private teams?

In other words, what championship titles will there be and eligibility?

What's incentivising Toyota in running Rally2s? An RC2 'top class' does not mean an RC2 eligible team/constructor championship.

as things are there will be no distinction in championship between rally2 and wrc27, so they ll go anyway for the wrc championship.

I know this topic is mainly focused on the technical part of WRC27 category, but since the discussion expanded to teams and where/how the WRC should go with the new Promoter, I'd like to paste a comment I really liked in the comment section of the Dirtfish article, which IMHO would be great to introduce people and all those "Average Joe" that doesn't have a really clue about rallying.

I'd say, controversially and hated by most fans

- Let rallies run how they want Thursday to Saturday night - award constructor points only on Saturday night based on finishing positions.

- Sunday - reduce margins that each driver has over their rivals to 10%. So if they have a 2 second lead, it becomes 0.2 seconds. A 2 minute lead becomes 12 seconds etc. Let them then race it out on the last stage for the overall win. However Sunday stage or (2 stages) needs to be televised live in a 2 hour package, heavily publicised, heavily marketed, cater towards causal fans, have concerts, fun fairs around the stages etc.

What do you think about this idea? I think it would be very refreshing for the sport, even though I would add some money prizes, like it was years ago the Golden Stage Rally in Cyprus (IRC era) to spice things up even more.

Car ready to test in October 2026, hope to enter WRC mid-2027. Not based on any road car.

Then there was no immediate need to introduce WRC27, just a new way for the long term future of the sport.
