It should be epic - the only fly in the ointment could be the BoP - but we'll wait and see about that, as it can/could get a bit political. However, they're doing something right - and rumours that GM are showing interest.
Yet the WRC has just 3 manufacturers......something isn't working for the WRC.
Is there a better sound than that of Porsche engined Flat-6 ???

McLaren is also joining ExtremeE. Their CEO posted a video and he said “sustainability” numerous times. This is what manufacturers want to “sell”. Sustainability and diversity. We have no other option in WRC if we want manufacturers to join. WRC needs to “sell” sustainability and diversity.

Alejandro Agag is also releasing a new electric championship with e-boats haha Its called e1 series, with electric powerboats or something like that. Theres also a new "eSkootr" (scooters) championship about to be released and the "electric touring car championship" (pure etcr - soon to be renamed as e-tc world cup) starts next weekend. I guess you guys are right... its all about the "Message".... even knowing that no one will save the planet by creating more and more expensive racing championships... It pisses me off cuz racing has this huuuge potential of being the plattform for battery development... but nope. Its all spec.
Things are weird

WRC needs to get realistic about the cost to compete, the series was 1 Hyundai board decision away from having just Toyota and MSport competing, with cars too expensive for privateers to run to make the numbers up as we had with Citroen/Ford.
WRC gets away with a lot, because it’s not circuit racing and offers something different, but things like Exteme-E will put pressure on that.

A clip from the Toyota LMPH going from electric to the petrol engine. Nice sound

Will there be set points using GPS where they run it on the road sections to make sure everyone uses the same?
