The line between the rules and what goes is blurred, and also whether these rules are what was agreed. I don't believe the season will start without at least one rule being corrected. Probably best to email the rally department if you're thinking of running.
The rules say drivers don't have to compete in the team's championship, but a registered team has to enter the driver if the driver wants to score in the open championship. Driver's don't appear to have to be registered in the open Championship to score for the teams, but all drivers do have to pay €3000 registration fees (table, p102). Drivers don't have to be entered by a team to score in the WRC2 Masters Cup but these drivers do have to be registered in the WRC2 Open Championship in which they won't score unless they were entered by a team. The Masters Cup is an additional €3000 registration.
So registration for a driver who just wants to drive alone in the open championship is €3000 plus €10,000 for their own team to enter themselves in. A loophole-type flaw here has been discussed over several recent pages, which I believe is against the rules but was allowed last year.
Hopefully bandit12 will explain it clearer, or banish us to a new thread.Last edited by WRCStan; 23rd December 2021 at 21:26.

M-Sport Ford’s Gus Greensmith is convinced the World Rally Championship’s Rally1 hybrid machines will prove to be “quite a lot faster” than the previous generation of cars.

Haven't seen this but it is entirely possible.
Biggest reason: Rossel won WRC3 and is going to WRC2 and is French + Camilli doing great in Spain
On top of that his post Estonia/pre Acropolis comments. Historically PSA manus don't like that sort of thing at all.
If true it's a bit surprising Gryazin isn't driving for Citroen then though.Last edited by mknight; 31st December 2021 at 12:43.

Just focus on 27. Full focus. No new manufacturers will come before then, and no new ones will come if clear new regs aren't settled for 2027 by the end of the year (latest first few months on 2025)....
