Larkin does so much taking but not actions. From the article it sounds like I’m not the only one thinking this with teams drives also not being satisfied
In other news. Ogier confirmed in Sunday morning dirtfish interview he will be in Central European rally#8 Ott Tänak - Martin Järveoja #8

It is all after discussion between FIA, promoter and manufacturers. And nobody of them see future in rallysport in full EV...

There is no room in rallying for full EV. The RX fire proved it beyond doubt. And that was in a closed, monitored environment. Just think what can happen in an off like Linnamae's...

EV's would just lead to much reduced spectator interest, which will lead to reduced sponsor interest, which will lead to reduced manufacturer interest.
Making rallying look boring by taking away the sound will do nothing but kill the sport.

The long days without service isnt right and its reducing the chances of crews continuing when there are already a low number of Rally 1 cars.
The Teams and mechanics also need to be made part of the story. Like in F1 where the bèst pit stops, running repairs and strategy are an important factor in the races.

The thing is that WRC is in a vicious circle. It kind of needs to go electric (and the manufacturers want that) but in the same time it can't.
Anyway the WRC shall finally get rid of manufacturer homologations and allow privately developed cars. That could keep the sinking ship afloat for quite some time.Stupid is as stupid does. Forrest Gump

All 3 manufacturers are pushing for things to remain until the end of the 26. Not even the goons running the WRC will be stupid enough to push them out by forcing new regs for 25
