JWRC 2025 will be open.

Perfect, world championship classes need to be open, and not a monopoly as a one car cup!

Even when this one car cup is cheaper?

At least they're trying to accommodating another manufacturers. Although it'd be like Oreca & Ligier Cup (I hope I'm wrong)

It could be a Ford cup in WRC, and a Renault cup in ERC, swapping evey 3 years!

Do you really think so? In most countries there are not even 5 Rally3 cars competing.
"To provide continuity and stability in the Junior WRC Championship, the extension of the exclusive car supply contract (M-Sport Poland Ford Fiesta Rally3 EVO) for the 2025 season was approved."

Well, that goes against Renault thoughts.
I think for Renault it is not surprise, extension of contract was expected...

Est-ce que Renault espère rouler en JWRC à l’avenir ?
“On verra ce qui est le plus pertinent de faire. À l’heure actuelle, je ne sais pas quelle est la durée de contrat entre M-Sport et JWRC pour l’exclusivité de la Fiesta Rally3. On peut imaginer un contrat conventionnel sur trois ans, donc jusqu’en 2024 inclus.
Ce que l’on veut, c’est un championnat ouvert, comme à l’époque des S1600, et si possible avec des pneumatiques aussi différents.”

More than two years old article... Situation is different. It was sure for long time that M-Sport will continue in JWRC.

That's a shame. There are so few Rally3 cars...

It would be a big shame, especially when they have the GR Yaris road car as a base.

The two current Rally3 manufacturers have made 200+ cars, so not bad.
But I feel we need som Junior stars, with some real personality, and Wrc and Erc need to give them airtime, both at and between rallies!!
