WRC teams react to FIA’s vision for the future
The governing body has introduced a comprehensive plan this week that includes significant changes to the technical and sporting regulations of the WRC, as well as strategies to enhance the championship’s promotion. One remarkable decision of the vision is to eliminate control hybrid units from Rally1 cars by the 2025 season. While the current Rally1 cars will continue without hybrid power until the end of 2026, with adjustments to air restrictor and aerodynamics, costing around one million euros. Starting from 2027, new regulations will shape the basis of the Rally1 class, with cars producing around 330 horsepower and costing around 400,000 euros. Team principal Millener supports the FIA’s direction to enhance event formats but expresses concerns about meeting the proposed targets by 2025 and beyond. Millener emphasizes the importance of collaboration among stakeholders to achieve common goals and address challenges in integrating new ideas within tight timeframes. He acknowledges the need for proactive work and constructive criticism to move forward collectively towards the common goal of improving the championship.
