2025 Rally1 removes the weight of hybrid, but the smaller restrictor has to compensate to keep the same kg/hp. Safe to assume no new manufacturers are developing one just for two years.
2026 Rally1-, will be 50hp lower. But Toyota can run the 2025 Rally1 alongside the Rally1- in 2026, so who's going to be tempted to build a Rally1- for one year?
For me Hyundai are exiting else there is not this panic. Congratulations Toyota for the 2025 and 2026 championships! New cars or not don't change that, but I don't think there are great times to be had in these two years."It's not sport!" - Gilles Panizzi

I personally kinda like the Rally2+. Sure, it will probably make WRC2 a bit less competitive and less attractive for some drivers. But #1, if a driver wants to compete for the championship, he need to have enough funds anyway, and #2 WRC2 is supposed to be a feeder series, instead it's 2nd league from which is almost impossible to get into WRC. Rally2+ can for sure help with that step.
Yeah but I'm really curious what's the plan for Rally2+ in 2026 and forward.

‘Engine and transmission will be cost-capped and technology limited to Rally2 equivalence’
Does this mean they won’t have the global racing engine?Only you know your true potential.

I don not understand clearly - too complicated. Only thing I like is, that Manufacturers can not say no, if someone wants to by their car. That means - a lot more private entries in Rally 1 than now.

I can imagine that it will draw more teams like Prodrive, Oreca, Iron Lynx, etc. when now non-manu teams can build their own cars. Also it will open doors for Solberg's project even without Subaru's green light.
Idk if it will bring more privateers (probably it will as there is usually 0 privateers rn), but it will for sure bring more crews overall.

At 19:15 Saturday, the FIA are announcing a new WRC event for 2025 at Sardegna. The event, I don't know - perhaps Paraguay.
