2026 WRC News & Rumours

[deephouse]

Didn’t they say or weren’t there rumours about an announcement regarding a new promoter on the eve of the Acropolis Rally or did they manage to drive the new promoter away already?

Don't believe them anything anymore. They are lying. There is no one and even that one who was, wasn't there anymore.

They said that new manufacturer from Europe will be revealed, not tuner, but manufacturer in a Rally Japan time. Rally Japan ended almost month ago and nothing. We kinda understand, because again delaying this affair with new promoter. But Rally Greece was coming and also WMSC meeting was in place. That shitface of Ben announced that they will finaly reveal promoter soon, max in three weeks... So that would be, what 2 weeks after Rally Greece, if my timeline is correct. If not he will be to blame. So what? What will happen? Will he be fired? Of course not. Now we got some weird news about that useless KIT soon after WMSC meeting which practicaly nobody wanted. So again, don't expect anything. They are lying, because there is nothing, sadly.

I'm sure there is no new promoter, its just trying to hype up by useless "business-PR" people in todays promoter/FIA.

If some of this "genius" people actually reading this forum, her is what you have to do:

Rally2's as topclass next 4 years while making a new direction how next generation WRC1's will be.

Give 30 mins round up tv-shows out for free to both streaming and regular TV-channels around the world.
You can't hide your product behind paywalls to get a fanbase.

Dont try to please todays team, several of them won't join anyway, and noone of them will go in the same direction.

Then, in 4 years time, you will have manufacturers joining the new regulation, because its actually a solid fanbase to show your brand for, good numbers from streaming/regular tv, the ROI will be aceptable for most interested manufacturers. Its like the hypercars in LeMans, it was quite dead some years ago, today its totalt different.

Or we could just face the truth and accept that wrc will be without manufacturers. They will just build the cars and private teams will compete. As likes of Toksport, Printsport, PH-Sport, 2C competition, M-Sport... I mean it wouldn't be that bad. And Rally2 prove every single rally that can witstand better every conditions, tyres, drivers...

Didn’t you see? Ben just overthrew the rule saying his time is limited for 12 years…only took him a year into his second term to do that…just wonderful…the WRC will die, it’s just a matter of when…

And who will pay this whole circus? If you will not have money from manufacturers, where they will find them?
