Analysis: What the FIA’s radical changes could mean for WRC
The FIA has revealed a comprehensive concept for the future of the WRC, encompassing technical, sporting, and promotional changes. A working group, led by Robert Reid and David Richards, spearheaded this overhaul following a fan survey yielding 11,000 responses. The aim was to address declining Rally1 class entries and attract new manufacturers to the sport. Changes announced include the removal of hybrid power from Rally1 cars from next season, reducing costs and potentially attracting more privateers to compete. However, concerns linger about the impact of these changes on car performance and the investments made by current manufacturers.
