WRC mainclass from 2027

Non existent market for their car. You would be stupid to buy a new Hyundai, since they did not prove any kind of long term commitment to the WRC, 2027 onward. They could be gone from 1 year to the next

what do you mean by "new"?

there will be no new rally2, as homologation of the class is finished. you can buy the same rally2 that is running now, with new upgrades if they'll do some. And Rally2s now are almost all on the same pace.

New in the sense that the car is new for you. Customer which does not have a Hyundai Rally2 buying one, like you outlined

The question is also which privateer's are going to want to drive a Rally2 Hyundai anyway, when the Toyota, Skoda & Lancia are so much better.and newer ? Maybe just Paddon as he's the only one to get decent results with it (in the ERC).

That will all depend on the price. There are a few rich people who don't care, but the biggest group of drivers are constrained by budget. If they can give good deals, they could sell cars.

It's still open until the end of this year, isn't it? Hyundai customer racing boss even said that they are looking into doing that.

They are not there yet and nor they won't be in future.

That's always been the case and people have chosen Toyota, Skoda, Citroen over Hyundai Rally2 and not because they are cheaper.

Should we believe him? I think not. At least it's something to read about since their promises (again) didn't come true at Rally Japan.

I just heard about this recently, Skoda has this price money you get in parts, that's quite a big thing

I think yes. It all needs to be rubber stamped at the WMSC meeting the week after next. Should hear a few announcements and news then.

Not sure it was anybody official saying anything about announcements in Japan?
