Agree. Tho that would be more about Rally2 imo, where i domt think theres a necessity of big car developments, it should be more about drivers and costs.
however, if FIA and Promoter manage to lure ralliart (team) with mitsubishi body panels, x-raid with mini body panels, prodrive with renault body pannels, vermont or petter solberg team(?) with subaru body pannels, msport with puma, gazoo with yaris, etc.. then i would not care about a 'spec' rally1 structure, as long as they can bring their own engines or something like that
(haha not plausible, I KNOW. just wishing out loud)Last edited by saco0o; 5th October 2024 at 21:38.

This must be an AI rehash using some extra clickable buzzwords, of a press release from May - https://global.toyota/en/newsroom/co.../40849748.html
"The liquid hydrogen-powered engine generates power by injecting hydrogen, the fuel, directly into the engine for combustion."
It's an ICE.
In fact, the race mentioned was held in May. Here's the report - https://toyotatimes.jp/en/report/hpe..._2024/003.html
It's worth considering not sharing "El Diario 24" again unless it's April fool's day.

It looks like the headline meaning was lost in translation (to Spanish). You picked that out but the rest was pretty much correct. I just answered what it would mean if it wasnt combustion ie.a hydrogen fuel cell
(Hydrogen fuel cells, don’t burn liquid hydrogen, but create electricity from it by a completely different method. Rather than using a combustion engine, hydrogen fuel cell vehicles use the process of electrolysis to create electricity, which feeds a battery and then an electric motor.
As well as being far more efficient per unit of liquid hydrogen than quite literally setting it on fire in a combustion process, a fuel cell also produces no harmful NOx emissions. This, in theory, combines the benefits of EVs and combustion engines, with the former’s lack of harmful emissions and the latter’s fast fill time come refuelling.)
