[WRC] 2025 News & Rumours

Maybe just a PR shit, because we all know that non-hybrid car without ballast would probably beat full hybrid powered car. At the end they would fool themselves if Sesks would beat all on the field. I see it like that, that now, when they will take out units from all cars, they suddenly don't need ballast.

they just decreased the weight to keep power/weight ratio. that doesn't mean that they will not use ballast in the back. they can reduce weight in other areas to keep the car balanced.

That's some work required then. Why not just leave the weight and increase the power (restrictor) ?

could a 2024 rally 1 hybrid run on wrc 2025? because of the equivalent power to weight ratio

Let's hope it(not adding ballast) won't lead to dangerous moments for drivers..

I mean that in case of wanting to keep the weight minimal, but taking the risk of car being less stable and more surprising on some sections..


I don't know how much room there is, but maybe it is possibly to rearrange spare wheel position lower or more to where Hy system was.

But we'll see how it goes it already in 2 months time
