The FIA released its roadmap for the future of the WRC in February, which it hopes will attract new manufacturers to the championship. Included in a raft of proposals are technical changes to both Rally1 and Rally2 classes. The tweaks to the rules for 2025 and 2026 include the removal of hybrid power, a reduction in the aero, achieved by a modified rear wing, and a smaller air restrictor, to bring the Rally1 cars closer to Rally2 vehicle performance.
'We have no interest at all for the 2025 and 2026 regulation in regards to the current Rally1, but for 2027 we will work with all the manufacturers and the FIA. How did we see the future right now? You never know.” Pressed specifically on the changes for 2027, he added: “The FIA have done a good job. The technical department do a really good job. In terms of promotion, we have to increase it a bit like everyone said but everybody is in the same line and want the same thing.
