WRC mainclass from 2027

I hope it is a new constructor, but maybe we have lost in translation / misunderstanding here and it's "just" another "tuner"

If someone had posted this here first instead of Reddit, would you have accepted it then, or what do you mean? The OP is just a rally fan and simply shared potentially important information that was shared in their local media and hasn't been "picked up" by anyone yet.

I'm just as sceptical with anything posted here by anybody. Some things are more believable than others but I generally don't accept anything until it comes from the source.

I've since seen something on autosport.pt with Carlos Barbosa, allegedly pulled from the same RTP interview. That's the same autosport.pt that parroted the Lancia 2027 story from Rallyssimo's private conversation the other week - which no other media chose to run. This time Barbosa recalled a conversation he had with Malcolm Wilson 'the other day'.... read it yourself, it's bollocks.

It's all hearsay, chinese whispers and extrapolations from imaginary conversations to form contentcontentcontent. That's why I choose not to accept it.

Maybe there are shreds of truth. There is WMSC next month and the announcement of a new promoter, allegedly, which makes sense. Maybe Lancia is true, maybe this is too and the Dirtfishes are under embargo. But I can wait rather than having blind belief.

Should we spend 10 pages talking about what is happening in 2029?

"They are pointing to the new World Cup starting in 2029, which is when all the cars are already there, where we will already have private individuals who will enter with new cars, as is the case with Yves Matton, who will enter with a car for the completely new year. The P1s will be gone and the P2s will be left with the kits that, in essence, will give them more competition."

ive learned from all the years on this forum and in social media that everything that comes from southern europe regarding rally news has to be taken with a pinch of salt.

it's just a matter of what anyone decides to extract from the news. from Italy: Lancia's news is true, it comes directly from the manager of the brand. but it's not that much of a news. she just said more or less "we are working on the 27, a thing in which we are interested".
then anyone decides how much to build on it.

It's logical they will do it in already built Rally2, since they will have that option to compete alongside WRC27. If things will progress regarding more entries, they could separate those two classes again, and I think then they will decide if they will go up the ladder. Right now it's still a great chance all will fall into the water and such a fragile brand will rather sit out until things will be clear than going with head through wall. WRC teach me that everyhing is not true until it is. Sadly here things are clear too late or never. It's just blabbering and most of promises can't be taken too seriously.
