But the FIA won't want to piss off the Rally2 manufs that may turn up in WRC next year by announcing those timelines.

'WRC2027' is going to be a gradual process, the only people panicking are on this forum worrying what Monte 27 will look like.
and that's it! you are basically speaking about money and return of investment of the new cars, if it worth it or not. the very same toyota is still quietly marketing pro rally2, because they need to sell (especially spare parts) until the end of homologation -2030-. They will sell WRC27 as late as possible to keep the recent rally2 valuable.

promoter indeed handles the wrc, but wrc is what defines the sport, everything else goes by.
