WRC mainclass from 2027

[saco0o]

hmmmmmmmmm smells like TCR? do we know if thats even something related to rallying?

anyway, rally2 rules are also changing in 2027 right?
its seems like the 'easier' way to go is to simply move from small hatchbacks to small crossover cars, keeping all the rest the same but with some upgrades on the door impact safety.
we talk a lot abot rally1s here, but if they are changing rally2s, they cannot go too crazy on that. new rules must allow current cars to compete on pair, so we can have a gradual change with time. waaay too many R5s out there for it to be simply scrapped.

They should radicaly change Rally1 category in a way that could suit many entries, as manufacturers or private teams. Rally2 should be tweaked little by little and not touch in many ways as the formula was, is and it will be perfect for many years.

What ever the specs are..
There MUST be a benefit for manus. End of story.
Make the series attractive enough to be in it..
Very clear sample was Ford, was-is Skoda, is Toyota, is Citroen etc.
It's not that manus have forgotten rallying..
It's just that those big-pimple-heads in fiawrc think that they are the smartest.. yet can't decide that 1+1=2..
Their mind is thinking about 1+1=-55427
aLl gOoD!

Manus and teams have sold hundreds and hundreds of r5 cars during last 10+ years.. It is the most successful business of all time.. and yet wrc/fia lambs think about grass.
