    The noise was definitely part of what got me hooked, and that sense of pure excitement when you heard the first car approaching was something I wish I could bottle. Attending more and more events means that's disappeared a bit now. It also helped that Celicas and Impreza 555s sounded like a small war was approaching back in the mid nineties.

    Looking at the current spec wrc cars flying nose up really makes it looking like Groupe B era... or am i the only one seeing that?
    especially the quattro compared to the fiesta, with the front wheel arch kinda looking alike.

    How would you even come to a thought that noise is not important?
    I would, because except for the speed perception there's also the smell of brakes, pebbles being thrown around; sliding tyres will be easier to hear/notice too.
    And of course laying and drinking under the shadows, people do it with bycicles tours too.

    So it is almost guaranteed that by 2022 the cars will be Hybrids. Thankfully not fully electric.

    In Rally Finland most team bosses expressed their feelings:

    It is interesting to see that for most in charge full electric is not a viable option neither will be in the medium term, however it is also interesting to see some, specially Nandan, considering other types of alternatives other than electric.
