prospeed will compete in the belgium championship with that car next year due to its tarmac events. to develop the machinery.
they will not score points probably, but eh, if we are ditching rally2s for 2030 (??), its better the national championships start to allow them! hehe
if british rally championship has an open class in 2027 they can also test there

I'm not sure these cars comply with the Motor Sport UK technical regulations which require at least 20 cars to be made in one year for Category 1 though some minor rule changes may allow them in Category 2. Note: these categories are related to the inspection requirements needed before issuing the vehicle passport, not to any class or event that the car can enter. Once they have FIA homologation it should be much easier to persuade MSUK to let them compete in British events but until then it may be more difficult.
 
Prospeed are concentraing on developing their car for tarmac first. This is probably due to most European national series being on tarmac, so their sales will be targeted there.

There's next to no chance of anyone in the UK buying the car for the BRC which has a 50% gravel element.

Hyundai already looking to 2029 – but major decision comes first - RallyJournal.com

Hyundai sporting director Andrew Wheatley has outlined the Korean manufacturer's plans for the coming years.

Hyundai on 2029 plans... So those two sentences are a clue they are actually working on car for 2029?

"Although the question of the powertrain remains open, Wheatley said development work on the rest of the car is already under way.

The chassis will be consistent across all the powertrains. Its development is already under way. I think that very quickly, from the start of 2027, it will become much easier to understand which direction we’re heading in.”
 
It sounds like 2027-28 will be using the Rally2 car as its the cheapest option while they build a new car for 2029.

Whether Hyundai or private teams run the Rally2 depends on if it's for a Teams title or just the Drivers.

Compare aerodynamic development this vs RallyOne. They use the body shell itself as aerodynamic device, as expected.

Now personal opinion: What an ugly car, man, what the heck

How do they make a sports coupe look so bad ?!

It might all work to make it fast, but no-one is going to have it on their bedroom wall ! ;)
 
It will definetely not look like that, no way. I think they are mocking with us. And at the end it will be some surprise of "Hilux".
 
Someone used AI to add current Toyota colour scheme. If it will be like this, then actually it's not too bad
