WRC mainclass from 2027

^ Agree.

Brand new cars to last for decades and the Rally2 or Rally2 sourced - whatever it is - engine is not the long term sole solution.

It totally is long term solution, more so when the regs are designed for future flexibility in mind.

Rally2 sourced engine is just fancy phrasing for road-car derived engines, which is imo important.

FIA can anytime allow other displacement than 1.6T, and they hinted they will in future, as well alternative powertrains. They just need to develop some good way of balance of power (they already say they don't want balance of performance ala circuit racing).

At this point it's a platform that allows just Rally2-like cars (not just powertrain, basically everything but chassis and suspension is same spec as Rally2 rn). But the platform allows to do almost anything with the cars.

Well, should be around 15 teams aiming for top5, in the "holy" rally1 its 5 toyotas in the same place.
Much better in all means.

This weekends rally in sweden is what i think i rally2 based wrc would be like, so if you dont think it would be cool, just watch the rally and jugde after.

Ok if an entry list with two just big names, Suninen and Sesks is a massive competition for you then you have really low standards.

And why you guys say every time “go and watch it”
I have been to plenty of rallies and watched also plenty in my life and I don’t get it how this one rally now suddenly should change my view.

And about Vaher, I’m telling ya he is the real deal

I wonder if more manufacturers participate if the WRC had more tarmac than gravel. Personally I like gravel rallies, but, in my part of the world gravel roads are so rare that most people here probably don't know they even exist. I see why the marketing people could think it's not good advertising. Maybe a mostly tarmac WRC would interest the likes of Porsche, BMW, etc.
